This guide will walk you through downloading and installing Office or Office Products using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) provided by Microsoft.
1. Download and Run the ODT tool from the following LINK for 2013 or this LINK for 2016.
- During the installation process, the tool will ask you to select a folder to store the extracted files. From the folder list, Navigate to “This PC” and then “Local Disc (C:)”. Select the option “Make New Folder” and name it “ODT”.
2. Modify the configuration.xml file that installs into your ODT file location.
- Click the following icon (file explorer) on your computer menu bar at the bottom. This will open your computer files.
- Navigate back to the ODT file we created earlier by clicking your “C” drive from the file list on the left, then double click “ODT. You should have two files that look like this:
- Right click the file titled “Configuration” and Scroll to “Open With”, from here select Notepad. You should see a screen similar to this:
You can highly customize this configuration.xml file to suite whatever you are trying to do. That includes removing or adding programs from the office install, enabling shared computer activation for say, a terminal server environment, selecting 32/64bit, or even switching languages. We recommend the following editing tool if you would really like to customize it to suite your company’s specific need:

3. Download and install.
- Open Command Prompt. Depending on what version of Windows your computer is using, this could be a few different places. The easiest way is to right click on your Start button (in Windows 8 or 8.1 this looks similar to the following image.
- Go to Run and type “CMD” without the quotes and hit enter.
- Type the following: cd C:ODT and hit enter.
- Type the following: setup.exe /download “c:ODTconfiguration.xml” and hit enter. You will need to wait until the download completes. This should be indicated when you see something like this again as the last line instead of just a flashing cursor:
