    Hi so to be sure this isnt working


    Create a config.XML and place it in a folder

    Configuration>
    <Remove>
    <Product ID="VisioProRetail">
    <Language ID="en-us"/>
    </Product>
    </Remove>
    <Display Level="None" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEULA="TRUE"/>
    </Configuration>

    Add the office customization setup.exe to that folder
    COnvert it to a win32 app , add it to intune and specify the setup parameter : setup.exe /configure config.xml

Hi Rudy

Thanks for trying to help. I am trying to use the App Type Microsoft 365 Apps you did notice that right?

I can of course try to make a Win 32 app that does the same and yes it was also my idea to try, but really do not understand why Intune can´t handle this as I would prefer to use a std. MS config instead of having to manually create an intune pck, but will try that now.

 

Moreover I would rather use one win 32app for both install and uninstall and might be the end of this challenge.

      Thanks for your help and it does work with the win32 app way with setup.exe and config.xml files.

      Uninstall runs flawless. I am wondering if there are any benefits of keeping the install apps as they are and just create win32 apps for the uninstallations of each pro and std visio, project, 32/64 bit.

       

      By the way using SCCM on premise to manage the devices in the install and uninstallation groups by syncing them via SCCM to AAD groups. Works perfect in my oppinion. Still easiest way for me to be able to check installation status / versions via device collections by queries that can be taken action upon.

       

      I am a bit disappointed Microsoft does not have a better solution for managing their own M365 product :-(.
