TUTORIAL: Use the C2R installer to ONLY install the Office 2016 APPS YOU WANT.

My offline installation notes:

Code:

<Add SourcePath="E:\" OfficeClientEdition="64" >

When the source path is specified as E:\ it means it expects the extracted "Office" folder here.
In my case I had three items: "Office" folder, setup.exe and autorun.inf
setup.exe has been replaced by a larger ODT setup.exe tool from microsoft com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117

Then I executed

Code:

E:\>setup.exe /Configure E:\Configuration.xml

My configuration file. As a template I used Configuration.xml file created for the Office 2019 Professional Vol on https config office com

Code:

<Configuration>

I have tried to implement as many privacy options as possible, but after I have reviewed the options in the installed Office, I noticed that it still requires some tuning. It tries to connect to several ms domains.

Code:

ctldl.windowsupdate.com
ocos-office365-s2s.msedge.net
config.edge.skype.com
nexusrules.officeapps.live.com
officeclient.microsoft.com
mobile.pipe.aria.microsoft.com
ssw.live.com
ls2web.redmond.corp.microsoft.com

 

The tool on official site is for Win 10 AND Office 365/2019.

How do you get this to work with Office 2016 on Win 7?
