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 - Overview of the Office 2016 Deployment Tool. 

 

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. 

Thanks!

@Cian AllnerIs this still the case, I ask because I can install Office 2019 with ODT without the Download step, grabs files from the internet, however, I am now having issues installing Office365.

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