---|---|---|
Where to download the Office installation files to and where to install Office from For example, servershare (a shared folder on your local network) | SourcePath | If you don’t specify a SourcePath when using the ODT to install Office, the ODT looks for the installation files in the folder it’s located in. If it doesn’t find the Office installation files there, it goes to the Office CDN to get the installation files. We recommend that you install Office directly from the Office CDN, if internet connectivity and network bandwidth make that possible. |
Which products to download or install For example, Office Professional Plus 2019 | Product ID | Valid values for volume licensed versions of Office 2019 include the following: - ProPlus2019Volume - Standard2019Volume - ProjectPro2019Volume - ProjectStd2019Volume - VisioPro2019Volume - VisioStd2019Volume For a list of Product IDs for other volume licensed versions of Office 2019, such as Access 2019, see Product IDs that are supported by the Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run. |
Use Multiple Activation (MAK) to activate Office 2019 | PIDKEY | Enter the product key for MAK activation. You don’t need to use PIDKEY if you’re activating Office 2019 with Key Management Service (KMS). |
Which languages to download or install For example, English (en-us) and French (fr-fr). | Language ID | You can install multiple languages at the same time you’re Installing Office 2019, or you can install them later. For more information, see Deploy languages for Office 2019. |
Which proofing tools to install | Product ID | The Product ID is 'ProofingTools' and is used in combination with the Language ID. For more information, see Deploy languages for Office 2019. |
Which edition of Office 2019 to download or install. For example, the 64-bit version. | OfficeClientEdition | Valid xml values are '32' and '64.' All Office products on the computer must be of the same architecture. You can’t have both 32-bit and 64-bit Office products installed on the same computer. We recommend 64-bit on computers that have 4 gb or more of memory. But you should assess application compatibility and other factors that might require you to use the 32-bit version. For more information, see Choose between the 64-bit or 32-bit version of Office. |
Which apps to install For example, all apps except Publisher. | ExcludeApp | By default, all apps included in Office Professional Plus 2019 are installed. For example, to not install Publisher, you can include the following line in your configuration.xml: <ExcludeApp /> For more information, see ExcludeApp element. |
Where to get security and quality updates from. For example, directly from the Office CDN on the internet. | UpdatePath | The default is to get updates directly from the Office CDN on the internet. This is recommended and requires the least amount of administrative effort. But if you need to update computers that don’t have connectivity to the internet, you can specify that Office gets updates, for example, from a shared folder on your local network. But this means that you must download the updates from the Office CDN and copy them to the shared folder. For more information, see Update Office 2019 (for IT Pros). |
Which update channel to install from and get updates from | Channel | Office uses the concept of update channels to determine which updates an installed version of Office receives. For more information, see Update channel for Office 2019. |
Whether to remove previous Windows Installer (MSI) versions of Office before installing Office 2019 | RemoveMSI | This is recommended. For more information, see Remove existing versions of Office before installing Office 2019. |
