Deploying Office 2016
I am having a hard time deploying our copy of Office 2016. I am working with the standard version, not Pro Plus, or O365. I am using a .exe file and a .xml file. The goal is to perform an unattended, silent installation with the product key included. So far some of my deployments has shown successful but when I check the target computer I see the software has not been installed. Most often my deployments are stuck "In Progress" and eventually I get a message that some of my silent switches are invalid. I believe the error is with my configuration file but I copied that straight from here:
https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/deploy-ms-office-2016-how-to.html#customize
The only thing I changed was the Product ID and added the product key. My installation command works when I try to run it from the command prompt. MY Installation command with Switches looks lke this:
"<Share Path>\setup.exe" /configure "<Share Path>\Configuration.xml"
My Configuration file is as follows:
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32">
<Product ID="ProfessionalRetail" PIDKEY="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx">
<Language ID="en-US" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="True" />
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="True" />
<Property Name="AutoActivate" Value="1" />
<Property Name="ForceAppShutdown" Value="True" />
</Configuration>
Can anybody help me get this sorted out?
