This was adapted very, very, slightly from this original blog post by Daniel Z. Stinson, thank you!
- Download Office Deployment Tool: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=49117
Extract to a simple path such asc:\Files\Office_Deploy
- Create share on the folder you created above. I shared the folder named “Office_Deploy” and set “Full Permissions” to “Everyone”
- Edit the
configuration-Office365-x86.xml
file to be the following below. Edit line 2 to be the path to your share that you created in the previous step:
<Configuration> <Add SourcePath="\\YOURSERVER\Office_Deploy\" OfficeClientEdition="32" > <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail"> <Language ID="en-us" /> </Product> </Add> <!-- <Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="\\Server\Share\" /> --> <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> <Property Name="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="1" /> <!-- <Logging Path="%temp%" /> --> <!-- <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" /> --> </Configuration>
- Run the following from an elevated command prompt:
C:\Files\Office_Deploy>.\setup.exe /download configuration-Office365-x86.xml
This downloads the installer files/package. - Wait for files to download, there is no visual confirmation, but I did see an “Office” folder get created.
- Run the following from an elevated command prompt:
C:\Files\Office_Deploy>.\setup.exe /configure configuration-Office365-x86.xml
Enjoy!
