the point is press the button that says "install office" and receive a working office install for the one document you needed to use it for which did not constitute some weirdo edgecase where you had to manually janitor your install

they're still weirdly popular in some environments and 64bit office has been the red headed step child of the office team for nearly 20 years, so it's still unsupported by pretty much everything

its too bad the Office plugin API doesn't use COM, otherwise they could just make the 64-bit version of Office host the COM objects in a separate 32-bit process and use normal COM proxying to marshall the method calls between the processes

you can do that, but in traditional ms fashion, only in the most obtuse way possible you download the ctr deployment setup tool and make an xml deployment file that omits what you don't want, then pass that to the setup tool and download/install your bespoke office deployment

BIGFOOT EROTICA posted:"go to this random github website and click some hceckboxes and itll make the completely illegible xml file that you need" well, the random giuthub is microsoft's official github, but otherwise yeah. idk, i had to make templates for this before that was a thing so mine are all artisanally crafted bespoke XML written in notepad. it's dumb and bad and there's literally no reason for them not to just make it part of the setup launcher, but this is microsoft, and the office team to boot, so gently caress you i guess.

they appear to just do whatever the gently caress now, different teams put their poo poo wherever they feel like and there's no centralized repo for anything any more. most of the old support links don't work and also most of the new support links don't work

yeah, tbf office also had a fully packaged msi-based install as opposed to some bespoke streaming bullshit that doesn't integrate with anything
|
# ? Dec 11, 2018 20:24 |

there's zero reason why they couldn't integrate the XML generator and the deployment tool into a thing that downloads the office you want based on your selected option, hell you can do it trivially yourself if you want to build a form to generate the xml and pipe it to the installer as a command argument, but again, gently caress you sincerely, the office team

even better, while MSIs were available for enterprise licensed office products up to office 2016, they ain't no more. so if you're doing deployments and updates via sccm and wsus, go gently caress yourself, you're setting up parallel infrastructure to deploy office 2019 no matter how much money you want to spend
