If you have to write a massive document like this about deploying a single software package, you've designed a really inefficient deployment system.

 

The team that built this deployment system needs to know they maybe didn't do a great job.

 

The only thing that's made this process less painful is the GitHub-hosted configuration editor. I believe that was originally developed by a 3rd party. http://officedev.github.io/Office-IT-Pro-Deployment-Scripts/XmlEditor.html

 

Yes, it's true. I'm not happy about how much complexity this brings to my job. Yet another overly-complicated system to learn.
