Custom install gone?

Anonymous

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.

Thanks Brad[M], you made my day !

As mentionned by finejustice, you can find the list of ID attributes (by the way, it's Groove instead of Grove ;-) and much more at https://technet.microsoft.com/library/en-us/jj219426.aspx

I needed only Excel, Word and Powerpoint, and my configuration.xml, listed below, is OK but for OneDrive (setup.exe still installs it, so I had to remove it afterwards) :

<Configuration>

<Add SourcePath="C:\Office Professional Plus 2016" OfficeClientEdition="64" >

<Product ID="ProPlusRetail">

<Language ID="en-us" />

<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />

<ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />

<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />

<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />

<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />

<ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />

<ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />

<ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />

</Product>

</Add>

<Logging Name="OfficeSetup.txt" Path="%temp%" />

</Configuration>
