Installation of Office 2019 Volume License
Issue
There is no more option to download MSI installation type for Office 2019. From now on, the software has to be deployed using Click 2 Run installation. Therefor, Microsoft enforces the usage of the Microsoft Office Deployment Tool.
This article will describe the installation for a standalone computer. The source installation files should be hosted on a shared drive in order to be reused. It will also not cover the deployment of the package using SCCM.
Solution
Download Microsoft Office Deployment Tool (Make sure you have the latest version or at least 16.0.10810.33603) :
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117
Run the installer and extract the files in your preferred folder.
E.g : C:\Office2019DeployementTool
In the folder, create an XML configuration file and past the following content
E.g: C:\Office2019DeployementTool\configuration-x86.xml
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="" OfficeClientEdition="" Channel="PerpetualVL2019">
<Product ID="" PIDKEY="" >
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
The channel should always be PerpetualVL2019.
Modify parameters according to your needs and save the file :
- SourcePath : The location where the source files should be downloaded. If empty, a folder will be created in the same location as the config file is stored.
- OfficeClientEdition : “32” for x86 architecture or “64” for x64 architecture
- PIDKEY : Type in your Volume License Key
- Product ID : ProPlus2019Volume, Standard2019Volume, ProjectPro2019Volume, ProjectStd2019Volume, VisioPro2019Volume, VisioStd2019Volume
Open a terminal and go to your installation folder
Run the setup.exe file for download the installation source according to your configuration file
C:\Office2019DeployementTool\setup.exe /download C:\Office2019DeployementTool\configuration-x86.xml
Once completed, run the setup.exe again to install the software.
C:\Office2019DeployementTool\setup.exe /configure C:\Office2019DeployementTool\configuration-x86.xml
