Install / deploy Office Professional Plus 2019

Microsoft released Office 2019 yesterday. But it seems Microsoft push very hard to get people move from traditional office to office 365.

After I login Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center, I found that Microsoft stopped to provide the ISO for Office Professional Plus 2019. And Microsoft only provides the deployment tool to deploy office 2019.

Office Professional Plus 2019 will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We are not providing MSI as a deployment methodology for Office Professional Plus 2019.

Ok, then how can we install Office Professional Plus 2019?

First of all, download Office_Deployment_Tools_2019_MLF_X21-88134.exe from Microsoft website.

Then create an xml file as following:

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2019">
	<Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume" PIDKEY="#####-#####-#####-#####-#####" >
		<Language ID="en-us" />
		<ExcludeApp ID="Access" /> 
		<ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" /> 
		<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" /> 
		<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" /> 
		<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" /> 
	</Product>
  </Add>
</Configuration>

Please be aware “ProPlus2019Volume” is the only available channel for office 2019 “ProPlus2019Volume”.

3. Run below command to get office 2019 installed

setup /configure configuration.xml

And you can also download a copy of the installation files if you want via below command:

setup /download configuration.xml
