Install Specific Apps Only | Office 365 Custom Installation Guide

[@AliShaikh_744]

I had to open CMD as admin, then go to the directory where it was installed to use this. I also deleted the other configuration files. Not sure which did the trick, but after those steps, it worked. Thank you for your video. Very helpful

[@templar.]

the first time i did it a couple weeks ago, i had no issues following the video, but after doing a fresh reinstall of windows yesterday, i also had to open cmd as admin or else it would say the file could not be found.

[@dopamine3045]

ive tried this method where you need to run cmd as admin and it works, thank you for sharing this

[@porridgeman10]

This is the only way that would work for me in Dec 2024

[@Reverae]

Thankyou so much! Didn't want any other bloatware that came from the regular install and found this video. Easy & straight to the point!

[@sinhalo]

I still come back here everytime I need to install it even in 2023!

[@roffooa]

Mate this video is definitely the most simple and to the point video loved it

[@HectorHernandez-pg4iy]

i really dont know understand why microsoft just decided to bundle everything and not let the end user choose what apps they want installed on their pc. Some users have lower end computers with not much space or resources and can potentially slow down their computers

[@D0EKUN]

Really great video walkthrough - worked flawlessly. That said, the grasp of Microsoft tightens again - within four days, MS 365 apps I didn't install just appeared on my start menu. Thanks again, Microsoft.

[@barnacleboy4487]

add to your configuration file

[@Stelicx]

@@barnacleboy4487 I had that, but it still keeps installing other applications. Frustrated af. At this point I installed office like 10 times.

[@AKarlRatti]

Been looking for weeks for another way other than writing my own config/install files and found this video in Hindu or something and another in silent mode. Finally found this. With the exception that you have your default font soo small that I can hardly make out the text or even find the mouse at times. The audio is a tad too fast, so that at some point in the video ones thought process can no longer fully digest what you are explaining. It is obvious you have done this more than 5 or 10 times...... Awesome video!! Maybe I will try Magnifier, hopefully it works on KZbin

[@hammadahmad1137]

OMG It worked. It was really annoying when Office setup automatically installs all those apps that I never use. I remember following some tutorials to install custom apps a few years back but nothing worked that time. Thanks Man!!!

[@barnacleboy4487]

make sure to turn off automatic updates if you do this! auto updates can sometimes reinstall the ones you don't want

[@faithobinna9167]

I watched several videos but this was the easiest that worked for me. I tried it just once and bum, it was installing. Though it needed product activation, I used someone else video for that. Thanks anyway

[@redx3127]

i wish every guide on youtube was like you

[@Just_Ignorant]

Best video on youtube for use of this tool. Clear and concise, thanks so much for sharing!

[@jgr1202]

Great video. Straight to the point, and very intuitive. Thanks a lot!!

[@Rohitkulkarni007]

Tried lot of things but this works for me. Thanks for the Video.

[@1004k]

easiest and cleanest guide i wasted 2hr reading the blog.

[@itzspiro6047]

Underrated. This is perfect

[@SovonHalder]

This was exactly what I needed, thanks for making the video.

[@davidmustard2178]

Thank you very much! As stated by others, make sure to open cmd in admin mode.

[@myping_long]

You save my life! I have to say that MS services and app keep make things too complicated. I'm a music producer myself, kinda use to Windows, but I find these things are so annoying!

[@pragathip_1993]

Well well well.. a great video and to the point. Not missing the single step. But one suggestion. Please upload the video which clear and actually visible of what you are narrating, because it too blurr right now. I kinda unable to follow cmd window where it was totally unclear of what were writing. But got through somehow. Worth watching anyways, keep it up.

[@SmanEDITS]

Where do I download .img from? When i have mc apps from school

[@hector_dgz94]

the only video that worked for me, thanks a lot.

[@FormulaTechie]

thanks! i had to delete the other xml files except for the one we created in order for it to work

[@nielsjanssen7649]

Great explanation! Thank you very much.

[@ReaperSAFC]

Great video, thanks mate! Been looking for an easy to understand guide and fortunately this fit the bill! :)

[@shadisquad]

Thank you so much for this type of video. It is really useful.

[@urbao3010]

Thanks a lot, struggle for a long time. It turns out I missed the double quote, and somehow the other tutorial didn't mention this keypoint.

[@claysyfchuck3313]

Why does it fail saying no internet or not enough hard drive space sometimes but then others works fine? Version of windows 11 specific perhaps?

[@tee228]

thank you!! i see microsoft is trying to be like Apple and turning something simple into 7 steps when they could've included a customization option in the installer

[@FranLegon]

Thanks, very clear. Removed Microsoft bloatware succesfully.

[@swarnendu]

Awesome explainer. But, I've one doubt before I go ahead. Let's suppose I customise and install only Word, Excel & PowerPoint. Now if in the future say, I need to install OneNote, then shall I again make one customised install only for OneNote(when already previous Office products are installed) or should I uninstall previously installed Office completely and then reinstall with Word, Excel, PowerPoint & OneNote ?

[@stephend]

Did you ever find an answer to this question?

[@AKarlRatti]

You will need to uninstall office completely, first. Attention!! Back up your templates from Word, Excell, etc also your normal.dotm files. I know they exist for Word and Excel, not sure about the others. This will save a lot of grief and work later.

[@swarnendu]

@@AKarlRatti Thanks for the input

[@hollowayndtengineeringinc.5201]

Woo hoo! Thank you!! I just succesfully installed Access on a Macbook Air running Parallels. Lifesaver you are (in my best Yoda)

[@wixlogo]

Sir, is this your Direct video, or do you edit it??? ( Removing bg noise is ok)

[@TroubleChute]

I do some noise removal, yes :) There's not a lot of noise in my room. Sometimes there is static if I don't unplug and plug my mic in again after a few hours. No idea where it comes from, but I guess windows? you'll hear some noticable noise in my videos from that.

[@chrissiebateman7281]

This is probably a stupid question, but: presumably these steps are for paid versions of office 365. At no point in these steps does am i made to sign into Microsoft.... am i missing something?

[@chrissiebateman7281]

I have an office 365 account via my university that I log in to access the Apps online. I can also install the whole office suite from it. This it the suite from which I am trying to only install excel....

[@stephend]

It will make you sign in when in the apps before you can use them.

[@markevans3026]

i done this a while back on my pc to just install word and excel and have just revisited video to do my wife's laptop. Could i have just saved the folder i created to install on my pc and copied onto wife's laptop and run it to install word and excel...

[@alex-rd]

thanks for the video! kind of insane that you need to do this to not get bloatware

[@sinhalo]

Omg Ty! Trying to use my works license that’s I’m authorized to use but I don’t need all their junk!

[@dwaipayandas3789]

Will other pre installed apps get uninstalled?.....after I custom install some of them

[@McFleurry31]

can I do this with the 365 education version for students?

[@BPMChan-nr7ik]

If I already installed Microsoft 365 with all the programs in it, will I need to do a Microsoft 365 uninstall and reinstall to achieve this?

[@AnT4ReZ]

Thank you, i always wanted to know how to do this. It's very anoying have to install all the suite, without really need.

[@Javier22G]

Thanks a lot! is have to nave a way to not install all the apps microsoft offer

[@helend269]

How do you install it to a D drive instead of to the C drive?

[@italianlive44]

this video is amazing, thank you ^^

[@Magic_z7]

Can i install on another drive instead of my Os Drive C

[@collingebhardt3098]

Great video, thank you!

[@generansophiamayr.9632]

thank youuuuu! it really work

[@kennethgreen2829]

This does not work for me in 2024.

[@mohamedadheel83]

THank you so much for this video!

[@ChaseTolbert-v2q]

How do i do this for mac os?

[@toddmatzke6241]

You are the MAN!

[@froggy9191]

Damn, I tried this a few times for my Microsoft 365 Personal and I got an error message each time :( "Couldn't install. We're sorry, we had a problem installing your Office program(s).... ERROR CODE: 0-2048 (0) Has anyone else had this issue?

[@allendelacruz7339]

I have the exact same problem Idk what to do about this, I have internet access and enough space on my hard drive

[@RaghuramRajanK]

I also Have This Issue

[@jakuarias8003]

I also have this issue, so frustrating!

[@jakuarias8003]

I figured out what my issue was, What I wasn't doing right was when in the cmd prompt, after typing setup.exe /configure configuration I was missing .xml After the name of the configuration file which did not show ".xml" in it all it said as the name of the configuration file was "Configuration" no ".xml" After putting that into the cmd prompt it worked! The correct line I had to put was: setup.exe /configure configuration.xml Hope this was also your problem, and that this helps!

[@wintrywind]

This is very helpful, thanks! now these ms unwanted bloat is gone

[@JuanToo-wv6pm]

thanks for clear instruction

[@Prakashpowar007]

Hey you have beautiful voice and thank you for this information

[@ucTran-to9ur]

thank for video, nice days

[@h_nooh7390]

thank you very much✨✨

[@HeinserTorres]

Thank you so much!

[@gigwebsspecialists8661]

Good video for windows users but Mac users are left in the MUD !!! :)

[@dopamine3045]

If you get an error where setup is saying that it cant find the configuration file, you have to run cmd as admin first then go to the directory of the xml file and the setup file

[@sudhanvagr]

Thanks Boss..

[@sasas110110]

Thank you so much.

[@itsprivate3061]

why do these geniuses had to do shit like this, just put a god damn menu in your installer where i can tell you *NO, I DONT WANT ONENOTE, NOR SKYPE, NOT ANY OF YOUR OTHER CRAPWARE*

[@hammadahmad1137]

Because Microsoft wants you to use all of their apps.

[@radonecodinho2462]

Thanks. Finally got rid of microsoft bloatware

[@PokeMellowM]

Supreme, I was just struggling with all this sh1t ad with your video got it first try, thanks.

[@AhmetDinopis]

Thank you soooooo much :)

[@hannahanna3036]

Thank You

[@-._.-._.-._]

I can finally exclude that annoying Skype for Business lmao

[@sarkhan8018]

👍👍👍

[@pcildaed]

now, it cannot longer use

[@redrabbit9999]

Why is microsoft making this so complicated....

[@iamisworo]

Mereka ingin kita mengenalkan aplikasi mereka, walau tidak kita perlukan

[@techatharva]

first

[@manssour5731]

guys if It didn't work because it deosn't recongize the file try executing as an admin with line like this *C:\Users\User\downloads\TEMP> .\setup.exe /configure Configuration.xml* write .\ before setup.exe

[@moneyxaddict777]

thank you

[@modo203]

Very laborious and intentionally ANAL process by Microsoft, and I don't get their intention or why can't one simply uncheck apps they don't need, but this worked like a charm! I'm on Windows 11 ARM64. BIG THANK YOU!

[@alanfzf]

Initially it installs only the apps i selected but when office updates, it installs all the other stuff.

[@LiegeMaximo]

pause office updates? They are anyways of not much use

[@VP_SN]

Thank you
