Office 2016 Advanced Setup
You can use the Office 2016 Deployment Tool to customize the setup. Edit the Configuration.xml
and add new ExcludeApp ID
entries for features you don't want to have installed:
<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="E:\Office\" OfficeClientEdition="64">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Excel" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
<ExcludeApp ID="PowerPoint" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Project" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
<ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
</Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
Now run setup.exe /download configuration.xml
to only download the requested features and install the customized office with setup.exe /configure configuration.xml
I was originally going to add this as a comment to the excellent answer from @magicandre1981, however I couldn't get the comment to format in a readable state.
Please up vote the comments from @hennes and @MetroSmurf on that answer because those people found this info first and deserve recognition of that.
Once you download the config tool and build your custom-configuration.xml (I suggest renaming it so you know which config you are installing)
To have it work with the MSDN Media:
- Make sure your config doesn't have a path set.
- Ensure your product ID is as follows:
<Product ID="ProPlusRetail" PIDKEY="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx">
- Suggest you also add
<Display AcceptEULA="TRUE">
- Extract the media to a folder (I used
Office2016
) In
Office2016
replace defaultsetup.exe
(400KB) with the deployment tool providedsetup.exe
(4.1MB)Put your custom-configuration.xml in
Office2016
as well.From an Administrative command prompt cd to
Office2016
run
setup /configure custom-configfile.xml
Profit.
