Custom install gone?

Hello,

I noticed that when I installed Office 2016 Pro it immediately installed the full package with all the apps including the ones that I don't need (OneNote, Publisher, etc.).

Isn't there a way to select during the installation which apps you want to install and which apps you don't? I remember Office 2013 did give you that option.

Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For home | Windows

    All right folks ,here's the lowdown from one of my contacts @M$ (an office MCT).

    It appears as if because of product launch constraints,the functionality for a custom install was left out.

    My feedback was, it will be forthcoming in one of the updates.  

    So M$ is aware of the issue.

    So should we expect an option for custom install in the near future, as in maybe a decade?

    One might naively assume the main "product launch contraint" would be that it works and is complete.

    Thanks for the update.

    I'm from Missouri (honorary), I'll believe it only when I see it. 

    MS has been aware of this "problem" since the CTR versions of Office 2010! aka "Office 2010 Starter". They haven't done anything about it yet.
