ODT Installation Failing

Copper Contributor

I install Office for our imaged devices with ODT during deployment. Yesterday these started failing with the error:
We couldn't successfully start your Office installation. Please try again later. Error 0-2031 (17000).

This is a clean image with no Office products or A/V installed and I am using the latest ODT. Our firewall doesn't indicate any traffic is being blocked by this device during the time I am trying the install.

The installation log looks clean until it start indicating the failure on this line, though it is not reader friendly and its the first time I've looked at it. I get the same error when trying to install with SaRA:

The problem is only when using the newest version of Office 365

 

If you request a specific version , in this case the previous version, then installation works without any problems

 

You can do this in the XML file like this:

 

<Configuration ID="ZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZZ-ZZZ-ZZZZZ">

<Info Description="32-bit installation of Office 365" />

<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="MonthlyEnterprise" Version="16.0.16626.20208" MigrateArch="TRUE">

 

If I remove the Version="16.0.16626.20208" to get the newest version of Office, then installation fails with Error 0-2031 (17000)

 

Microsoft, please fix this issue !

 

Kind regards Christian

Got this to work using a newer Windows version. I was trying to deploy on Win 10 21H2, but the after importing and switching to the latest Win 10/11 ISO, it deployed fine. Don't see any ODT or Office updates on or in the day or two before this started failing, so it's unclear what changed.
