To deploy Office 365 or Office 2016 you need the Office Deployment Tool which is available for download in the Setup Store.
The Office Deployment Tool allows the administrator to customize and manage Office 365 or Office 2016 Click-to-Run deployments. This tool will help administrators manage installation sources, product/language combinations, and deployment configuration options for Office Click-to-Run.
Switches
The setup supports two switches which are important for deployment purposes:
/download
/configure
running ‘setup.exe /download’ requires a [path to configuration file] option as well. If you create a ‘download.xml’ file this could look like this:
Configuration Wizard
The download and configuration xml can be the same file. We’ve created a Configuration Wizard to fill the XML with your required options.
SourcePath - If you don’t provide a value, the setup files will be downloaded in an ‘Office’ subdirectory in the directory from which setup.exe
has been launched.
OfficeClientEdition - This value defines whether you want to download the setup files for an x86 (32) or x64 (64) platform. In our ‘download.xml’ example the 32-bit version of Office 365 is selected.
Product ID - The following Microsoft Office 365 product IDs are supported by the Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run in Office 365 deployments:
- O365ProPlusRetail
- VisioProRetail
- ProjectProRetail
- SPDRetail (SharePoint Designer)
Language ID - See Microsoft documentation for a list of office Language IDs available in Office 2013. In our ‘download.xml’ example, the Dutch language is selected.
