To install Office Professional Plus 2024, you first need to download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) from the Microsoft Download Center. Here are the steps to follow:
- Download the Office Deployment Tool: You can obtain the ODT for free from the Microsoft Download Center. After downloading, double-click the executable (.exe) file to extract the necessary files, which include
setup.exe and a sample configuration.xml file.
- Create a configuration.xml file: You will need to create a
configuration.xml file to specify the settings for the installation. This file can be edited in any text editor and allows you to define which products to install, the installation path, and other settings.
- Download the installation files: Open an elevated command prompt, navigate to the folder where you saved the ODT and the
configuration.xml file, and run the command:
setup /download configuration.xml
This command will download the Office Professional Plus 2024 installation files to your specified location.
- Install Office: Once the files are downloaded, you can run the installation using the ODT again with a command like:
setup /configure configuration.xml
This will install Office Professional Plus 2024 based on the settings defined in your configuration.xml file.
