[OPLINTECH] O365 for public

[Tim Laino]

Hi Tyson,

Drop this into an (XML) text file in the same directory as the Microsoft
Office "Setup.exe" and name it something easy to identify (Mine is
configuration-Office2024Enterprise_public.xml in this example). Make sure
to update with your MAK key info. For our public deployments, I exclude
OneDrive, Outlook, and Teams. This is also for standard but hopefully
should get you on your way.

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2024">
      <Product ID="Standard2024Volume"  PIDKEY="PUT_MAK_KEY_HERE" >
         <Language ID="en-us" />
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Teams" />
      </Product>
  </Add>
  <RemoveMSI />
</Configuration>

To install it, open powershell and browse to the directory with your
install file and XML configuration. Run this command to start the
installation:

.\setup.exe /configure .\configuration-Office2024Enterprise_public.xml

Hope this helps!
