How to install Office using the Office Deployment Tool
Office 365 and 2019 now only come with one click Office Deployment Tool (ODT). This is a command-line tool that you can use to download and deploy Click-to-Run versions of office to your client computers. Typically most admins install office by downloading the MAK key with an ISO; this change starting with office 2016 where the office deployment tool was provided. Now Office 2019 only allows you to install via the office deployment tool.

So what you now need for Office deployment are essentially two files. The Office Deployment Tool which can be found here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117 and the configuration.xml file. You can read about the full details here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/office2019/deploy
***UPDATE July 10, 2019***
Now you don’t have to hand code your configuration any longer. Microsoft has released a Office Customization Tool for creating your click to run configuration file.

It is simple and easy to use. It also solved an issue I was having with office displaying the error on the install run “this product cannot be installed on the selected update channel”
***End of Update***
Here is the easy how to do this.
Create a file called configuration.xml Below is the XML required to run the ODT.

The parts your will want to edit are the SourcePath=”Path to save downloaded office files (can be network or local)
ID which can be any of the following
- – ProPlus2019Volume
- – Standard2019Volume
- – ProjectPro2019Volume
- – ProjectStd2019Volume
- – VisioPro2019Volume
- – VisioStd2019Volume
PIDKEY (Your Office MAK Key)
The ODT is run from the cmd prompt as administrator. For simplicity I put everything in C:\office
cd to the directory with the setup.exe and if you haven’t downloaded office run
setup.exe /download configuration.xml
once that has completed run
setup.exe /configure configuration.xml
you should see an output similar to the one shown below.

when you run the setup.exe /configure configuration.xml because we have setup you should see the office install splash, and this can be changed so it installs office silently.
