Configuring ODT Tool on the machine.
- Create a folder on your hard drive and name it ODT. For this example, we'll create it on the c:\ drive, like so: c:\ODT.
- Download the Microsoft 365 Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center. Select Save As and save it to your downloads folder. Copy of it can be found on \\dfw-netapp1\group\IT\ODT Tool in case the link does not work.
- In your downloads folder, double-click the Office Deployment Tool exe file to install it.
- If you see the User Account Control prompt that says, Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?, click Yes.
- Accept the Microsoft Software License Terms, and then click Continue.
- In the Browse for Folder dialog, select the ODT folder you created in earlier, and then click OK.
To install 64-bit version of Office365_Business, follow the steps below.
- Open Notepad on your computer.
- Copy and paste the following into a blank text file in Notepad:
<Configuration> <Add OfficeClientEdition="64">
<Product ID="O365BusinessRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
</Configuration>
*****Note: For Visio replace <Product ID="O365BusinessRetail"> with <Product ID="VisioProRetail">. The <Language ID> in the code above is for the English version "en-us". You need to change what's between those quotes if you want to download Office in a different language. If you're not sure what that is, use the URL for this topic to see your language ID, for example, "support.office.com/<this is your language ID>/article". In the text you just copied, replace "en-us" in this line, <Language ID="your language ID" />.******** - Save the file as installOfficeBusRet64.xml in the ODT folder.
- Click Start, type run, and then select the Run Desktop app to open it.
- In the Run dialog, type the following exactly as shown below.
c:\odt\setup.exe /download installOfficeBusRet64.xml
Click OK. - If you see the User Account Control prompt that says, Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?, click Yes.
- A blank dialog box appears with c:\ODT\setup.exe in the title bar. The Office installation files should start downloading to the ODT folder on your computer.
It can take a while to finish downloading and it may look like nothing is happening while the files are downloading. You'll know the installation is complete once the dialog box closes on its own, and a new folder called Office appears in the ODT folder you created earlier.
After the files have finished downloading, open the Run dialog box again. This time type the following:
c:\odt\setup.exe /configure installOfficeBusRet64.xml
Click OK. - If you see the User Account Control prompt that says, Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?, click Yes.
- The install should begin.
