Office 2016 - Installer Customization

Question

I just download "Office Professional Plus 2016 (x86 and x64) - DVD (English)" from my msdn subscription. While installing it didn't ask me to customize like its previous versions. It installed all the components like word, excel, access, publisher etc. How I can custom install it?

Answer 1

I have the same problem. It really sucks that you cannot choose what to install and where to install it like any other ordinary setup experience would. I uninstalled and went back to 2013. This was a terrible release Microsoft!

Answer 2

Download a separate deployment tool setup, create/edit XML file and start a program with command arguments...just to get a custom install of MS Office. Where is "ease of use"?

Anyway, Thanks for the tip.

Answer 3

Apparently you need to modify the click to run using the office deployment tool

Man what a PITA!

As for 32 vs 64 extract or mount the dvd iso and browse to the office folder ,should be a setup64 or setup32.

Answer 4

Same. I had a custom install for 2013, however for 2016 everything is installed by default. I dont care for OneDrive for business and publisher. I dont want them installed on my system.
