Please, dont spam. We already read it. Just wait. That tool was released 1 day ago.

Just did this with my Pro Plus download from MSDN. EN-US, 64-bit. Just mounted the iso and pointed the config.xml file to the drive and job done. A nice touch is the installer shows your the applications being installed so if you exclude Access you won't see the icon in the installer.

 

Anyone got more info on this? Does it mean installing with SourcePath="E:" in the xml file will stop it from getting updates from Windows Update for example?

 

Please,someone has Office 2016 Install v3.3,THANKS!

 

Is there a list of IDs where I can see what to exclude, like the one in OP's post? I only just want to install Word, PowerPoint, and Excel and nothing else as I have no use for them.

EDIT: I assume this is all needed if I just want the 3 mentioned above installed?

Code:

<Configuration>

  <Add SourcePath="E:\" OfficeClientEdition="64" >
    <Product ID="ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Project" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
  
</Configuration>

EDIT 2: Got it to work.

Can anyone tell me how do I download the OFFICE 365 Pro Plus Click to run or Full Offline setup through the O2016RTool ???

 

Download the Deployment Tool and create a configuration.xml file with your desired setup. Be sure to set a SourcePath to where you want the downloaded Office to saved. Then from a command prompt run setup.exe /download configuration.xml and it will download to your SourcePath.

 

is there a noobe friendly guide available for this ??

EDIT: Figured it out, Thanks.

 

OK, do this..

1.- Create a folder on your desktop (e.g. office), plain and simple.
2.- Download the Deployment kit and run to set it up (in reality it only extracts 2 files, there is no 'real' setup), it will extract 'setup.ex' and 'configuration.xml'. When you run the Deployment tool it will ask you where you want to install it (extract it) just select the folder you created on your desktop (office).
3.- I'm sure you have you office iso file somewhere.. in running Windows 7 or 8 just right click on the .iso image and select 'mount'. you will have a drive letter after mounting it... lets say is it drive "E".
4.-
inside the 'office' folder on your desktop create a file on notepad and place this inside, change to your needs:

Code:

<Configuration>
  <Add SourcePath="E:" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
    <Product ID="ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="PowerPoint" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Skype" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
    </Product>
   </Add>
</Configuration>

NOTE:
a) note the line "<Add SourcePath="E:" OfficeClientEdition="32" >" you will see the drive letter "E" there where your .iso file is mounted and also a "32" meaning installing the 'x86' version of office, if you want the x64 version then change it to '64'
b) From the above list, the installation will NOT install any of the ones listed, this means it will only install 'Word' and 'Excel' - because they are not listed. just change it you whatever you need.
c) rename the file anything you want, e.g. "remove.xml"

Create another file in the same folder 'office' using notepad again and place this inside"

Code:

setup /configure remove.xml

Rename it anything you want, e.g. 'remove.cmd'

Double click on 'remove.cmd' and you should see the installation to begin..

easy...

 

Thanks for the tutorial. One more thing, will this version be able to update to future builds from Microsoft Servers or I will need to every time manually download the updated files and rerun the setup?

 

It should since you have the office updates enabled by default when you install office... you can check it by going to File > Account when you open, let say 'word'.... you can disable this there if you don't want it.

 

Used Office 2016 Setup v3.3. Easy and installed whatever I needed. Worked like a charm.

Is there a way to add all LP to Office 2016?
