    You have to download the setup files first with a different xml file and then Office can be installed.

     

    So this is a two-step process, download the installation files and then install Office - https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Overview-of-the-Office-2016-Deployment-Tool-bb5b62d9-1168-47e9-9d54-15a958acfcca 

     

    Step 1 would look something like this, with ODT downloaded and your working in the local folder where it's kept. Create a file called downloadconfig.xml in this example -

     

    <Configuration> 
      <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Current"> 
        <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail"> 
          <Language ID="en-us"/>      
        </Product> 
      </Add> 
    </Configuration>

    Then run 

     

    setup.exe /download downloadconfig.xml

     

    Office installation files are downloaded to the same folder as the tool.


    Step 2 
    Is where your config file comes in, let's call it installconfig.xml

     

    <Configuration>
        <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Current">
            <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
                <Language ID="en-us"/>
                <ExcludeApp ID="Groove"/>
                <ExcludeApp ID="Lync"/>
            </Product>
        </Add>
        <Updates Enabled="TRUE" Channel="Current"/>
        <Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE"/>
        <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1"/>
        <Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE"/>
        <Property Name="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="0"/>
        <Property Name="PinIconsToTaskbar" Value="FALSE"/>
    </Configuration>

    then run

     

    setup.exe /configure installconfig.xml

     

    Office is installed accordingly from the downloaded files in step 1 and configured with the options you have specified here.
