Office 365 Offline Installer
- May 29, 2017
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.

Technically you can download AND install with the same XML file as long it contains all the tags and components that were shared above.
