  • Error running Office deployment tool

    I have a master image that I would like to install Office 365 Proplus onto, but I receive an error "failed to copy file src: c:\odt\office\office\data\v32.cab, dest: c:\program files\Microsoft office 15\v32cab" when running setup/ configure install.xml.
    Here's the info I use in the xml file:
    <Configuration>
     <Add SourcePath="C:\odt\office\" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
        <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
          <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
     </Add>
     <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
       <Updates Enabled="TRUE" />
    </Configuration>
    This is a 64X system that I'm trying to install 32X Office onto. I'm not sure if I'm having permissions issues, xml issues, or path issues during installation. Why wouldn't the 32x version install to the x86 program files folder, but the error seems to imply
    it's placing it into the Program files. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also once I successfully install Office does the folder I created originally still need to exist of can it be deleted?

    There is just a generic error message and happens from everything to "not enough disk space", "previous version of preview version of office installed", and "incorrect path to source"
    Have you granted "Domain Computers" (or Authenticated Users), read-permissions to the folder share?

    Seems that you've not enough permission to put the file onto the path c:\odt\office\office\data\

  • Office Deployment tool not trying to install 32 bit verion where OfficeClientEdition is set to 32

    We used the Office Deployment tool to download the 32 bit version of Office 2013.  Now when we try to deploy the 32 bit version we received an error.  This is on a 64 bit Windows 7 PC.
    Here is the configuration XML file
    <Configuration>
         <Add OfficeClientEdition="32">
         <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
               <Language ID="en-us" />
            </Product>
         </Add>
         <Logging Path="C:\Temp" />
    </Configuration 
    Here is the line in the log file that shows the download error.
    FileDownload::Download: Download failed for "C:\Users\swessmi\Desktop\Office_Deployment_Tool\Office\Data\15.0.4615.1002\i641033.cab", try 0. {"SessionID":"47a04060-d70c-4af4-be4d-dc5b1428c60b","GeoID":"244","Ver":"15.0.4619.1000","ErrorCode":"2","ErrorMessage":"ErrorCodeOnly
    (Failed to copy file src: C:\Users\swessmi\Desktop\Office_Deployment_Tool\Office\Data\15.0.4615.1002\i641033.cab, dest: C:\Users\swessmi\AppData\Local\Temp\OfficeC2R97A92F51\i641033.cab , Error:0x2)","AppVErrorSource":"","ErrorType":"2"}
    The Deployment tool is looking for the i641033.cab file which is the 64 bit version.  We want to install the 32 bit version so we did not download the 64 bit version. 
    If I try to install the 64 bit version by changing the OfficeClientEdition="64" the deployment tool installs the 64 bit version fine from the internet as I have not downloaded the 64 bit version.

    Hi,
    As tested, i641033.cab is also part of 32-bits Office installation source. When you have 32-bits Office downloaded, you should see i641033.cab under ...\Office\Data\15.0.4615.1002\ (in your case).
    Looks like the installer was having an issue downloading i641033.cab, try to download the source file again, or manually download i641033.cab, then try again.
    Some useful threads:

  • Office Deployment Tool Help

    Alright, further troubleshooting for any other boys and girls that may tune in with this issue.I tweaked my XML file (see updated version).
    The logging is now working (attached error log), and showing Download failed for c:\o365\office\data\15.0.4737.1003\i641033.cabI looked in that folder c:\o365\office, didn't see those cab files!
    I made sure my user account had read/write/modify rights to that c:\o365\office folder that was auto generated/downloaded and it contains cab files I reran the setup.exe /download install.xml, it redownloaded the files, and the cab files are now showing up!I then reran the setup.exe /configure install.xml and the officeclicktorun.exe process is now running in the background, and installing the software.
    It's hard to say if it was a rights issue, or an issue with the download not...

  • Office Deployment Tool Config for 2013 Pro Plus

    Hi!
       I'm trying to update an installation of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 and wonder if somebody could help me with the correct Product ID to use for the Office Deployment Tool configuration.xml file?  Almost all the examples seem to
    use O365ProPlusRetail.
       The configuration documentation here discusses only Office 365: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426%28v=office.15%29.aspx
       But it links to this page, which lists product IDs, but no description (thank you not very much!): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297/en-us
       There's a "ProfessionalRetail" there; elsewhere I've seen a "ProPlusRetail" which isn't listed there, and I'm hoping that if I get the right Product ID I can get this cantankerous update process to work!
       Thanks much,
           Rob

    Hi,
    Microsoft have used some rather confusing product marketing terms, which makes it hard to get clear, and also to be clear, when it comes to this release of Office :(
    Office 2013ProfessionalPlus - installation uses the classic setup.exe + MSI engine. Can be updated via WSUS.
    Office365ProPlus - installation uses the new ODT, and results in C2R virtualized "installation". Can't be updated via WSUS.
    So, if you're using the ODT, then you're not using Office2013ProfessionalPlus..
    Reference for the Product element:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426(v=office.15).aspx#BKMK_ProductElement
    Reference including Retail Product elements:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297/en-au
    NB: the update process will probably be cantankerous even after you get it working ;)

  • Office Deployment Tool

    Hi We just licensed a lot of computers with  Office 365 Enterprise 3.. or E3
    I wanna deploy office 2013, .. I'm unsure of what I actually got the rights to download
    I can't figure out if E3, gives me permission to get Ofice 2013, Pro Plus?
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2842297
    Can I get it anyway for offline install?

    Hi,
    For Office 365 E3 subscription, you should use O365ProPlusRetail
    as the product ID in the Configuration.XML file while downloading Office with Office Deployment Tool.
    You can download (with the /download mode of ODT) the build to a local path first, then configure it to all the machines without the need of Internet access.
    Here is the reference you'll need:

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.

  • Steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E1/E2 licenses, but don't have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.

    After many hours of debugging with Microsoft support the system to install the Lync Client silently can be done with a SINGLE LINE command.  The steps to take are below. It should be an easy next step to put this as GPO installation since
    it is a simple command.
    Comments appreciated. 
    side question: Why is there no Lync 2013 or Lync Office 365 forum?
    Basic steps to deploy Lync for users who own Office 365 E2 licenses, but don’t have Office 365 E3, using Office Deployment tool.
    This also applies for other Office 365 service types where the full office suite download is not included.  In April 2015 This was impossible to find online and not know by the Lync support team.
    Steps are:
    Download the Office deployment tool from
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36778 and extract it to a folder. For this
    example we will use the \\server\sharename
    location.
    Extracting it creates a setup.exe file and it show a sample XML file.
    2. Create XML file and give it a name such as LyncEntryRetail.xml
    Note: The key is the productID that has to be the “LyncEntryRetail”. Other product IDs will download a version that needs another office 365 license. The productID “LyncRetail” needs an E3 license of Office 365.
    <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="\\server\sharename" OfficeClientEdition="32" >
        <Product ID="LyncEntryRetail">
          <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
      </Add> 
    </Configuration>
    3. From the folder where you extracted the Office deployment tool, run the following command on the command prompt to download the source files and store them on the shared drive:
     (on single line)
    Setup.exe /download LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    One can also run the same on a server share by using UNC path names such as  (on single line)
    \\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /download
    \\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    4. Run the following command on the command prompt on a machine where you want to install the software: (on single line)
    \\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /configure
    \\servername\sharename\LyncEntryRetail.xml  
    (This is the name of the XML file created above)
    Once you are comfortable that it all works, you may want to edit the XML file if you want to have silent installation and add the following lines.
      <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> 
      <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />

  • Download O365 installer files using Office Deployment Tool times out...

    Hi,
    We need to deploy O365ProPlus as part of an operating system image using MDT.  I was pointed to this page for instructions:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn314789.aspx
    We first needed to download the source files, so I first downloaded the Office Deployment Tool and used this to download the O365ProPlus image to my MDT server.
    I created the following config file (O365x64.xml):
    <Configuration>
      <Add SourcePath="X:\O365\" OfficeClientEdition="64">
       <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" >
         <Language ID="nb-no" />      
       </Product>
      </Add>
    </Configuration>
    And I invoke the command to run the Office Deployment Tool:
    .\setup.exe /download X:\O365.x64.xml
    Then the process creates a folder X:\O365\Office\Data with a couple of 16kb CAB files, but nothing happens apart from this.
    What am I doing wrong...?  I expect the Office folder to be alteast a gigabyte...
    Thanks for comments
    Tor

    Please first check your network or switch to a different network, then try again.
    Additionally, you might want to check if your network setting/firewall setting is blocking any Office 365 IP address/URL:

    Hi,
    For a tutorial with source on how to create and deploy a simple quickstart JEE5 JPA enterprise 3-tier application on your Oracle WebLogic 10.3 server - see the following example that uses the EclipseLink JPA provider. You should be able to transition all of your mapping information (the @ManyToOne and table/column overrides and named queries for example) using either JPA via entity annotations or native extensions if you do not want to implement EJB3.
    see...
    http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/WebLogic_Web_Tutorial
    We also have a similar version for Tomcat 6 except the JPA entity beans run outside a container-managed JTA transaction on the web container - for reference.

  • Office 2013 deployment tool Invalid product ID error

    Hi,
    Im in the process of virtualizing apps like Office 2013 with App-V. 
    Downloading the binaries with the Office Deployment tool and converting to app-v package is very easy, I've followed this kb
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2915745
    But now I want to sequence add-ins for Office 2013. So I need a local install of Office 2013 click to run.
    Im trying to use the command line option setup.exe /configure <path to config.xml> but everytime I try this I receive this error:
    Invalid product ProPlusVolume specified. Error configuring products
    I have tried several different ProductID's like ProPlusVolume and StandardVolume. None of the volume ID's seem to work. When I changed the ID to ProPlusRetail, the setup worked flawless. But I need to install the Volume version for my RDS server...
    I have found other people in the comment section in this blog: http://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2013/12/03/3615124.aspx
    (read the comments in the bottom section) But no solution..?

    It's my understanding that  you don't use the "/configure" parameter when using the "Volume" options.
    Jeremy refers to this in the comments/responses.
    In the main blog article, he refers to "You can now use the Deployment Configuration file to configure...."
    This does not mean that you should use the "/configure" parameter - that is only used for C2R.

  • Deployment tool download switch failing

    I have downloaded the deployment tool and set up a download configuration file.  When I run the  setup with the "/download" switch it runns for a while them fails.  The log file tells me that upong downloading the "stream.x86.x-none.dat"
    file it fails wthi and error that tates "08/15/2014 13:19:43.144 SETUP (0x17b4) 0x173c Click-To-Run aoh8t Unexpected DownloadOffice::HandleStateAction: Failed to download office bits.".
    I thenk get a bogus message stating that I need to check my Internet connection or clear space on my hard drive.  There is pleanty of space on th elocal drive though the download should be going to either a network drive (with pleant of space) or I
    tried an external hard drive with 1.8 TB of free space.  It still fails with the same message(s).
    I've found only one other post similar and there was no resolution listed there.
    Could someone point me in the right direction, or better yet, have a solution?

    Has it ever worked for you?
    The most common reason for troubles like this, is due to an incorrect configuration.xml
    Often, this can be due to smart-quotes (angled) instead of plain-quotes (straight) - this happens if you copy/paste from a webpage.
    Here's a guide:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2013/06/19/using-the-office-deployment-tool.aspx
    For the "download" phase, the configuration.xml doesn't need very much in it at all..
    e.g.:
    <Configuration>
       <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >
        <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
         <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
       </Add>
    </Configuration>
    I'm using this configuration.xml, right now, and it's downloading fine.

  • App-V 5.0 SP2 (Office Deployment Toolkit) - Unable to create Project and Visio with different package ID

    We would like to create 2 App-V packages with the
    Office Deployment Tool
    - Visio Std 2013
    - Project Std 2013.
    The App-V packages are created successfully, the problem is that the package-id of both packages is the same.
    When we deploy for example, Visio to a client and afterwards Project, Visio gets replaced in App-V by Project.
    Is anyone else facing this issue ?

    So I wanted to bring everybody up to speed on some changes. You can manage multiple Office packages by generating different PACKAGEGUID attributes (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219426.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396)
    using the Office Deployment Toolkit BUT - the following still applies:
    Only one Office package can be deployed to a machine at a time.
    Only VL and Subscription Pro options are available for packaging via App-V.

    To be perfectly honest its a very hard model to support since users are licenses for Visio and Project separately, not to mention the lack of user publishing (targeting) and Office Standard support.
    We have put in advisory and problem tickets with MS for months in hopes of using the ODT packages in our non persistent VDI environment but I don't believe it will possible.
    In short if we have to separate our images or pools to support the various possibilities we are losing what App-V gains us: on demand (per user) publishing to limit the number of gold images we need.
    The loss of Office Standard support also leaves us in a tricky spot, because at the end of the day we have to find a way to support those users.
    Not looking to put you on the spot, just hoping there is a way to give effective feedback or discuss how to use the ODT packages in a way that makes life easier, not more restrictive.

  • Deployment Tool, Different Config Files, Same Results

    I should mention that I'm generating App-V 5 packages for Office 2013. Maybe this question belongs in the App-V forums.
    I can't seem to create a configuration file for the Office Deployment Tool that does what I want. This configuration:
    <Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="D:\Something\Something\Source\Full Suite" OfficeClientEdition="32">
    <Product ID="ProPlusVolume">
    <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
    <Product ID="VisioProVolume">
    <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
    <Product ID="ProjectProVolume">
    <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
    </Add>
    </Configuration>
    generates an App-V package with the "basic" Office apps (Word, Excel, etc.), along with Visio and Project. That part is fine.
    If I remove the Product elements for Project and Visio, I expect that a "basic" Office package will be created. However, Visio and Project are still in the package, and they are indeed usable. We have limited licenses for Project and Visio, so
    I would like them not to be deployed to every machine.
    I have tried giving the two configuration files their own source folders, that is, running the download command once for each configuration file and telling it to download to two different folders... same results.
    This is similar to John Marcum's follow-up question at
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/c9462446-7744-4e3e-8c25-dbcd185a17e4/creating-lync-and-onenote-appv-packages?forum=officesetupdeploy

    Kazzan's reply technically does work, and it is a viable option. However, that reply led me to wonder what the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) is doing to a machine that makes generating different packages difficult or impossible.
    I found that the ODT leaves files behind in the current user's Temp directory, after the package generation is finished. At least one of these folders (named Microsoft Office 15) contains the file system contents of the App-V package. So, I decided
    to clear the Temp directory in between runs of the Office Deployment Tool. Simply clearing this directory was not enough to solve the problem, but I'm still doing it as part of the build process.
    Running Process Monitor showed me activity in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun. Deleting this entire key does not appear to be necessary, and I'm not sure what that would do if you actually used Office Click-To-Run on the same machine on which
    you're running ODT.  So, I deleted just these keys:
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\Configuration
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\ProductReleaseIDs
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\Scenario\APPVPACKAGE
    Deleting those keys, along with the Temp directory cleanup, is sufficient to let me build multiple Office 2013 App-V 5 packages on the same computer.

  • Subdivide deployment tool window

    Several divisions on campus draw from the pool of licenses in the device license deployment pool.  Is there a way to have sub-divisions with in that pool?  For instance, we would like to have two divisions under the license device deployment pool:  (1)Academic Computing  (2) User Services.  The device names are displayed as IP addresses, when the Academic Computing group needs to deploy a new lab, they have to identify and separate out the licenses for that lab from devices used in departments. 

    Has it ever worked for you?
    The most common reason for troubles like this, is due to an incorrect configuration.xml
    Often, this can be due to smart-quotes (angled) instead of plain-quotes (straight) - this happens if you copy/paste from a webpage.
    Here's a guide:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2013/06/19/using-the-office-deployment-tool.aspx
    For the "download" phase, the configuration.xml doesn't need very much in it at all..
    e.g.:
    <Configuration>
       <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" >
        <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
         <Language ID="en-us" />
        </Product>
       </Add>
    </Configuration>
    I'm using this configuration.xml, right now, and it's downloading fine.
