APPLIES ONLY IF YOU USED PRODUCT ID "O365ProPlusRetail" IN YOUR XML, NOT REQUIRED WITH "ProPlusRetail"! I had problems with the O2016RTool, it did not detect my Office install when I tried to convert it to volume. If someone encounters the same error do the following to fix it: 1. Open O2016RTool.cmd in your favorite (plain)text editor. 2. Search for this part: Code: set "_%%A=YES" set "_%%B=YES" set "_%%C=YES" set "_%%D=YES" set "_%%E=YES" set "_%%F=YES" set "_%%G=YES" set "_%%H=YES" set "_%%I=YES" set "_%%J=YES" set "_%%K=YES" set "_%%L=YES" and change it to Code: set "_%%A=YES" set "_%%B=YES" set "_%%C=YES" set "_%%D=YES" set "_%%E=YES" set "_%%F=YES" set "_%%G=YES" set "_%%H=YES" set "_%%I=YES" set "_%%J=YES" set "_%%K=YES" set "_%%L=YES" set "_ProPlusRetail=YES" Now it will pass the check and successfully install the license files. Note that this doesn't fix the detection, it just makes it "thinks" it detected an install, so it might prevent the script from working for other products.
Any idea what is the "Product ID" for the latest Office 2016 version ... not the Office 365 ? ... <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail"> Is it still the same ?
Hi, thanks for the detailed explanation. That's exactly how O2016RTool works. Extract the ISO to a folder named: 16.0.4266.1003_en-US_x86_x64 Please name it as shown in example. Be sure to take correct language ID (choose from list below): Possible Language VALUES: ar-SA, cs-CZ, da-DK, de-DE, el-GR, en-US, es-ES, et-EE, fi-FI, fr-FR, he-IL, hi-IN, hu-HU, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, lt-LT, lv-LV, nb-NO, nl-NL, pl-PL, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro-RO, ru-RU, sv-SE, th-TH, tr-TR, uk-UA, vi-VN, zh-CN, zh-TW Then start O2016RTool and do Install VNEXT Office See HowTo/Readme how to proceed. I just did an install with Visio, Word, Excel, Powerpoint and it worked.
The tool is used to deploy office 365, that's why the string is O365ProPlusRetail. In our case the install source we point it to happens to be 2016.
One additional question: examinig the configuration file prepared by O2016RTool I see that for Visio and Project there are two additional entries: Spoiler <Product ID="ProjectProRetail"> <Language ID="en-US"/> </Product> <Product ID="VisioProRetail"> <Language ID="en-US"/> </Product> If I well remember from office 2013, both Visio and Project had entries to stuff such as infopath, onedrive and so on. To completely remove such entries is it necessary to add the exclusion commands even in such entries?
That's because you used a slightly different configuration.xml file The correct Product ID for the Full ProfessionalPlus suite is: "ProplusRetail" (without O365 at the beginning) "O365ProplusRetail" from the Microsoft-example is slightly different. This is the online MS-account controlled Office 365 Abo-version and not the local Retail Office we need. I used "ProplusRetail" for install and version check.
AGAIK not, it's made for it staff and their aught to know some cmd and xml. I'll also try to install the non-365 version this afternoon. BTW, does it really matter? I guess the only difference right now is that the o365 version will auto update to office vnext while the non 365 version will stay 2016 forever. Apart from the fact that 364 + vl is an impossible combo. Now I think about it, isn't the version only defined by the certs installed, and the cert which license is activzted? In that case we now all have proplusvl and the o365proplusretail is just a value in the registry that doesn't say anything anymore.
i have been trying to get this to work and have no idea what im doing wrong everything appears right but when i run the setup file it just opens and closes instantly. any thoughts? tried extracting the iso and directing it to the folder as well as from the e: drive. config file basically matches the one from the op minus one app.

Did you change the sourcepath to where the iso is mounted? And maybe you need to add a backslash. I can't test right now as I just f*cked up my office install. I fixed it manually and need to reboot now to install again, but I have an upload running so I can't reboot yet. EDIT: It works.
If you have ISO you can burn or mount it and install. You don't need The Office 2016 Deployment Tool unless you are installing to a workplace or organizaton...
