Customize Office installation

[tistou77]

Hello all

I'm currently using Office 2016 Standard (just need Word and Excel)
And I remove the components from this window on installation



With the 2019 and later versions, there are only the C2R versions and choosing the components to install is not as "complete"
Will there be a solution to have the same results as with "msi" style installations (like office 2016) ?

Thanks

Office Deployment Tool (ODT) allows you to customize C2R Office installs.
While you can't list which Apps to install, you can exclude unwanted Apps. There's different ODT downloads for Office 2013 & 2016.

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64">
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
  <Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
  <Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
  <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" />
</Configuration>

Read the Office365 Package and Silent Install thread for more background.

Thanks, I had already tried that.

But I'm removing a lot more than the ODT can allow I guess
Language that I don't use for example, all .Net, etc...
I would put a screenshot of the installation page

When I tested the Office 2019 version with ODT, Office was around 2GB after installation, with the 2016 version, I got 800MB
