ahha Ok now i know the problem.Office Setup.exe has one stupid flaw. It can only run from inside the same folder as the offline files.
Before you call the installer, your shell (or SFX profile) has to change the directory path. That's why the XML contains no path references.
Yes. It's really stupid. The lack of flexibility is because the "offline" install was designed for users in an enterprise environment, where your Office setup files are on a network share.
Ok thanks for the info! i'm know using a script to install the office now!No connection is required, unless you specified <Updates ENABLED>. Obviously you will need to eventually connect for activation.
I have no idea which product you're installing. Retail versions should be fine, VLSC Office is an entirely different problem to solve.
I successfully installed office2024 like this 10X!start /wait cmd /c Installer.cmd && taskkill /F /IM Office.exe && start /wait Cleanup.exe
