At Wharton: Install Office, Only the Applications You Want

_README.md

First, Download the Deployment Tools

• Go to: \\wharton.upenn.edu\wcit\technet\MS Products\Microsoft Office\Office 2019 for Windows
• Download Office_Deployment_Tools_2019_-3_MLF_X22-09817.EXE and run it.
• Extract it somewhere easy, like ~/Desktop/deployment

Download the XML Configuration File Below

• Within the folder you extracted to, download configuration.xml from below, and edit the file.
• In the example file, only Word, Excel, and Outlook will be installed.
• Comment out the Office applications you want installed.

The Commands to Run

• Open up cmd.exe as an Administrator, navigate to ~/Desktop/deployment, and run these commands to download and install.

setup /download configuration.xml
setup /configure configuration.xml

The /download will take a little while to run, as it is downloading the custom bundle from Microsoft. You can watch progress through your OS task manager. The /configure step will pop a window with a progress installation bar. Once that's finished, you should be all set with just the applications you selected!

configuration.xml

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Monthly">
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />
<!--      <ExcludeApp ID="Excel" /> -->
      <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
<!--      <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" /> -->
      <ExcludeApp ID="PowerPoint" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Skype" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Skypeforbusiness" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Visio" />
      <ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
<!--      <ExcludeApp ID="Word" /> -->
    </Product>
  </Add>
<!--  <Updates Enabled="TRUE" Channel="Monthly" /> -->
<!--  <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> -->
<!--  <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" /> -->
</Configuration>

Unfortunately, I think the only option is an uninstall / reinstall, which should only take a few extra minutes.

You can also change where Program Files are installed by modifying the registry values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion. The ProgramFilesDir entry in there can be changed to D:\Program Files if you want to install to D:\ by default.

Note that this value has to be changed PRIOR to installation!
