How can I install Project Professional 2019 from MSPartner Program

Anonymous

My company is entitled to a few Project Professional 2019 licenses through the MS Partner Program. While I get a key from the MSP portal, I don't have access to an installer, but to an Office Deployment Tool. After having to read and investigate (instead of just clicking a MSI) I came to some docs that say I have to create an XML file. I'm using https://config.office.com/ but there are no options to link Project to my MS Partner Program. Does anybody know how should I create the XML file? I have tried many of the options therein listed but nothing happens when I execute the tool.

Thanks in advance.

Hi fernandogomez,

My name is Lucia. I am an Independent Advisor. Thanks for contacting our support.

(1) - Download the tools from:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/detail...

... Then run the tool ... This generates the 2 required files

(- "setup.exe" and "configuration.xml" -)

(2) - Modify the ".xml" file according to the characteristics of its

license and preferences your organization requires.

... After this has been done, to download or install the product you have to

open a command console. Locate it in the path where the file is

".xml" and install the following commands:

(2.1) - To download Project 2019 it would be ---> setup.exe / download configuration.xml

---- or -----

(2.2) - To install Project 2019 it would be -----> setup.exe / configure configuration.xml

NOTE: In the case of the download, a folder containing the installer will be generated required for the product.

******************************************************************************

Create a folder in this location C: \

With name Project2019

C: \ Project2019 \ "this will be the location where you will download the Project product"

XML

&lt;Product ID="ProjectPro2019Volume"&gt;

  &lt;Language ID="en-us" /&gt;

&lt;/Product&gt;

</Add>

</Configuration>

Let me know any questions

Regards

Regarding the first question, it is correct, if you acquired it through a partner, it is probably from VL.

Here you will find the version of Project to be used depending on the Office version you have.

Also, what version and update channel should I use? Perpetual license, monthly, semi annual? I pay the membership each year, but there is no yearly option.

And opening a ticket won't do, unfortunately, since the tech support at Colombia or wherever they call me from say that they don't know and it's not their issue because the license wasn't purchased through O365. :(

Hi, thanks for your reply. So being in the MS Partner program mean the license we get is Project 2019 Volume License?

Hello

A pleasure to help you as an Independent Advisor.

In relation to the incident, I want to share a thread of the community where he explains and indicates the documents where an example of the XML file for the installation process of Visio or Project 2019 VL is shown.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/fo...

I hope that the information will be useful to solve your incident.

Otherwise, I recommend contacting the specialized technical support team directly, generating a support ticket from the Office 365 Portal either through your administrator or through the Partner associated with the organization.

Greetings.
