I have been deploying Office 365 Click-to-run using SCCM over several years and always have had a base install without Visio Pro or Project Pro. I have been using a configuration.xml to allow users to add or remove Project/Visio where required. With the current semi-annual version of Office I am struggling to Un-install these (although they successfully add just fine).
For both adding Project/Visio I use the command:
- setup.exe /configure configuration.xml
I roughly use the same technique as the following article:
Here is my XML for adding Project which successfully adds Project Pro (in addition with Word,Excel,Publisher,Outlook):
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="SemiAnnual" OfficeMgmtCOM="TRUE" Version="MatchInstalled">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Bing" />
</Product>
<Product ID="ProjectProRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Bing" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
</Configuration>
Here is my XML for removing Project - which completes without Error, however Project Pro remains:
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="SemiAnnual" OfficeMgmtCOM="TRUE" Version="MatchInstalled">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Bing" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Remove>
<Product ID="ProjectProRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Bing" />
</Product>
</Remove>
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
</Configuration>
So I am really struggling with using the logs which now only get kept in Windows\temp* and dont appear to assist me in identify whats going wrong (as I said the uninstall process completes without error). I would be happy with an explanation of how to read the logs here, but essentially I am hoping to identify what I may have wrong with my XLM?
