    Hi @Alagumuthu Melur dhandapani

    Welcome to Q&A forum ~

    For Click-To-Run version Office, we could not download the the separate security update patches to install.

    Can you find a machine at least with internet access?

    If possible, I will update this reply later and I would show details that using this computer to download the whole Office installation package via ODT to a shared folder on the local area network, the end users compare files from the update source, check the differences, and download the related files to install.

    If not, I don't think your needs could be achieved. Thanks for your understanding.

    Any updates, you could let me know.

    ----------
    Update ------------

    Following content is about using ODT download and deploy updates for Office 2019 Professional Plus.

    • First, you need to enable some settings for installed Office.
      On my test environment, I installed an older version Office 2019 via following .xml file. <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="C:\test"
      OfficeClientEdition="64"
      Version="16.0.103XX.20XXX" >
      <Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
      </Product>
      </Add>
      <Updates UpdatePath="C:\test" />
      </Configuration>

    Among the .xml file, SourcePath="C:\test" is used to specific the source file location when using ODT tool install an Office or an updated one.
    <Updates UpdatePath="C:\test" /> is used to specify the update source location which is used for Office automatic updates.
    "C:\test" could be replaced with your network shared folder, such as "\\server\share".

    • Then I prepare the following .xml file (UDS.xml) based on my installed Office (product, language, 64-bit) to download the installation file. <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="C:\test"
      OfficeClientEdition="64" >
      <Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
      </Product>
      </Add>
      <Updates UpdatePath="C:\test" />
      </Configuration>

    You can create a .xml file according to your Office installation.
    "Version" is not used here to qualify the version number, which means it defaults to the latest version available from CDN.

    • Next, run cmd command to download the installation file.
      cd <The Location of ODT setup.exe>
      configure / <.xml file name>
      There would be an Office folder created under SourcePath("C:\test" on my sample.)

    • To apply updates, run ODT with following .xml file (UT.xml). <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="C:\test" Version="16.0.10382.20010">
      <Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
      </Product>
      </Add>
      </Configuration> 162409-capture5.jpg

    The reference is 'Update Microsoft 365 Apps', 'SourcePath attribute (part of Add element)', 'UpdatePath attribute (part of Updates element)`, 'Version attribute (part of Add element)'.

    Any issues you could post back.
