Office H&B 2013 Custom Install

I have ordered several computers with Microsoft Office Home & Business 2013.  These are stand alone systems with no internet connection, so I need to be able to uninstall certain components that cannot be used, such as outlook, onenote, etc. 
I have tried changing the configuration via the control panel, but it requires an internet connection to continue.  When I install from the installation media, there is no prompt to customize the installation.  I cannot uninstall components via uninstall
strings listed in the registry because each component isn't listed.  Can anybody help me figure out how to do a custom install?  These computers are not networked and do not have an internet connection, nor can they at all.
Thanks,
John

Hi,
I still have some questions regarding the issue, kindly let me know more details so that I can understand the scenario more clearly.
1. How did you purchase Office at the beginning?
2. Was Office installed via Click-to-Run? If no, what was the installation media in your post?
3. When it required internet connection, what message did it prompt?
I was thinking you were using a Click-to-Run version of Office, that's why an internet connection was required. But I still can't be sure what installation media you referred to.
Looking forward to your reply.

  • Problem opening documents from SharePoint (2013) libraries with Office 2010 and 2013 components installed

    Hi
    I've been encountering the problem of Office files failing to open from SharePoint 2013 libraries with the prefix of 'ms-excel:ofv|u|' etc. in the url. Following the
    helpful questions and answers in the forum, I've identified the likely cause as the fact that my main Office installation is 2010, but I also have installed OneDrive for Business 2013 (which I need in order to sync document libraries with my local drive).
    The solution I've seen suggested elsewhere of deactivating the SharePoint integration of Office 2013 components fails for two reasons: there is no way (or at least, I can't find one) of deactivating SharePoint integration probably because, deactivating
    SharePoint integration would likely stop the syncing of libraries/folders.
    One thing that I have noticed in my case that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere is that if I right-click a document and select 'open in new tab/window' the required
    document opens directly in the relevant office package. I don't know if this is a useful observation, but it seems to be new information.
    My question is, is there a way I can continue to sync libraries and open Office documents directly in Office 2010? My thoughts are possible changes to registry settings
    (which I can do, but don't know enough to find the correct ones myself) or (re)installation of software in some appropriate order to leave the correct settings.
    I have 'repaired' my Office 2010 installation without any observed affect on behavior.
    Thanks

    (I've just seen a suggestion that Office 2010 SP2 may fix this issue. I've requested to test this, but whilst this may fix my problem, rolling it out to
    other users may be more problematic. In the meantime, other suggestions of solutions are welcome)

    Hi,
    According to your description, it is a good way to do a test about office 2010 SP2, here is an article about this issue- limitations of using the OneDrive for Business sync app with Office 2010 applications , it may help you.

  • Message Error : Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed - Office Home & Business 2013 - Lync 2013

    Hi,
    I have an issue related to Office h&b 2013 and Lync 2013.
    Office h&b is installed on many computers, and we are deploying Lync 2013.
    In Lync 2013 it's possible to share Powerpoint presentation (if you have a Office Web Apps server installed).
    With a PC using Office Pro 2013, no problem. Powerpoint sharing with Lync 2013 is working.
    With a PC using Office H&B 2013, I have a message : 
    "XXXXX.pptx couldn't be converted for presentations because Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) is not installed on this computer. Please
    install VBA and try again."
    VBA is installed and usable in all Office applications.
    Office H&B is a click to Run installation and doesn't permit to add or remove features.
    Lync 2013 custom install permit to choose the installed features. VBA is already installed.
    I searched in many forums, including this one, and... no answers, or better say, no good answers.
    Because :
    - It's not possible add VBA from Office H&B 2013 install.
    - Repairing Office does not solve the problem.
    Any Idea ?
    Thanks for your help !
    Regards
    Stéphane

    As far as I know, Lync 2013 is not available with Office Home & Business 2013, you can check

  • Include all updates for Office 2010 PP during custom network install

    Hello...
    I'm currently doing a custom network install of Office 2010 Professional Plus 32bit edition. The custom install is working fine with the MSP file in the \Updates folder. 
    I would now like to add all of the current updates, hotfixes, and service packs to the \Update folder so that Office 2010 is completely up-to-date when being deployed. I understand that I need to put the MSP files for these updates, hotfixes, and service
    packs in the \Updates folder. 
    A couple questions:
    1 - Is there one place that I can download all of the Office 2010 PP 32bit edition updates, hotfixes, and service packs... Excluding any 64bit edition updates? A repository of some sort?
    2 - I'm assuming that if the hotfixes, and updates are downloaded as .CAB, I first need to extract it, get the .MSP file and put that into the \Updates folder?
    3 - I think Service Packs come down as .exe's??!! If so, do I just put the .exe files in the \Update folder as well or do I need to run something special to extract them like I do with the .CAB files
    I appreciate any help someone can give. If there is a better way to accomplish this, I'm open to all suggestions :) 
    Thanks... Frank

    1. Update Center for Office: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ee748587.aspx

  • How to custom install Acrobat XI via Adobe App Manager (I don't want Office integration)

    Hi
    I am a Creative Cloud paid member with access to the Adobe App Manger. When I download and install Acrobat XI (also happened with older versions) it just installs the full version of the software, so it messes with my Microsoft Office program sepcifically with Word, installing macros or whatever. So every time I run Word, I get errors.
    I need to install Acrobat XI as a stand alone program, so I can choose CUSTOM installation. But, since I am doing it via the Adobe App Manager, I have no control over this.
    Please help, thanks

    Hi alexanderschek,
    After installing Acrobat via Adobe App Manager, you can go to Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features(windows 7, something similar should exist for other OSes too). You will see a list of all the applications installed on your computer. There you can select Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and click on the change button above. A windows Installer dialog for Adobe Acrobat will be shown. Select modify and click next. Now you will get a dialog similar to the CUSTOM installation dialog.  You can select/deselect features as per your requirement and that should solve your problem. As per your requirement you might want to deselect the feature: "Create Adobe PDF-> Acrobat PDFMakers->Microsoft Office". Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • Silent Install of Office Professional Academic 2013

    I have managed successfully to perform a silent install of Pro Plus 2013 as I had access to the disc contents, however as the
    Academic version is Click to Run I am failing miserably.
    I need to deploy the installation across a network. We supply computers to students with disabilities and each student gets a copy of Office alongside other software. The build process needs to be silent and then when complete the technician will open the
    application to put the serial keys in etc. This would work fine previously, just not with this version. Each student has their own individual license.

    Can you help please?

    Hi,
    Since it's a Click-to-Run version, is it Office 365?

  • Installing Office Home & Student 2013

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Office Home & Student 2013, but every time I try installing it give an error message that MS Windows applications are not supported on OS 7. What must I do?
    Thanks

    Well, two possibilities:
    You are indeed attempting to install that app suite on an iOS 7 device (which would would be an iPad, iPhone, or iPad). I have no idea how you are attemtping this, but no it will not run on such a device. You will need to find the equivalent apps on the app store.
    You are actually try to install on your MBP running OS X (not the same thing), but it is the Windows version, in which case the same is true. You need to purchase the version of MS Office for Mac OS X. http://www.microsoft.com/mac

    We tried creating a Cert through Active Directory Certificate Services which did not work.
    We tried adding the Cert through Central Admin > Security > Manage Trust which did not help.
    We verified "get-spwopizone" is set to internal-https
    We can access the Web Apps https://test022/hosting/discovery site and view the XML with no issue on any machine on our network.
    We added our domain to the list of approved domains that can use Office Web Apps as well as add "Domain Users" as the security group that can "EDIT" Office Documents through Office Web Apps. 
    After each step, we tried performing either a system reboot or IIS Reset on the Office Web Appcs and WFE box.
    My Question is how do we generate a certificate (either self-signed through IIS on the Office Web Apps Box or through AD) that will allow this application to work? I read that the Fully Qualified Domain Name needs to be in the SAN field of the Cert but when
    we request it, I have no way of entering this information. I tried following http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff625722 to manually request a certificate with a Custom SAN but that did not work either.
    I am assuming the certificate issue is with the New Office Web Apps box. Is this correct?
    -Chris

    If internal cert then you will have to add certificate from OWA to tursted certificates in each sharepoint server plus add the certificate from central admin in Sharepoint through manage trust. Also you will need to install p7b file (file that contains
    path to root certificate to verify each intermediate certificate) for internal cert to each sharepoint server to not get certificate error.

  • Visio and Project 2013 silent install returns immediately (before install is finished)

    Hi,
    I am building a task sequence that will include Office 2010 ProPlus (volume license), a bunch of other products (like SQL Server and Visual Studio) and also Visio 2013 and Project 2013.
    For Visio 2013 and Project 2013, I have to use the retail media (this is for use in academic computer labs and we have a single retail key through DreamSpark Premium that allows unlimited activations - I don't know why DreamSpark doesn't just give a volume
    license key).
    I managed to get Visio 2013 and Project 2013 to install silently by modifying the config.xml file and using the /config parameter. However, when running my install script (the usual VBScript wrapper) or just from the command line, the command returns before
    setup finishes (literally within less than a second). Setup continues to run and finishes successfully, but as you can imagine, MDT considers that application install finished and tries to move on to the next application which fails because another installation
    is still in progress.
    I've included below the relevant portion of the VBScript wrapper. Any help in figuring out how to get the wrapper to wait for the installer to finish is appreciated.
    sSetupFile = oUtility.ScriptDir & "\Source\setup.exe"
    sArguments = "/config vispror.ww\config.xml"
    oLogging.CreateEntry oUtility.ScriptName & ": Starting installation", LogTypeInfo
    // Check for existence of setup file omitted
    iRetVal = oUtility.RunWithHeartbeat("""" & sSetupFile & """ " & sArguments)
    Coincidentally, iRetVal = 0 indicating success.
    Thanks,
    SA

    Hi SA,
    Obviously you use the VBS wrapper for some reason. To my understanding this behaviour needs to be captured and translated to "script is till busy, when installation completes script is finished, proceed to next step".
    I can only advise you to either try the command line directly in MDT, instead of using the VBS wrapper, and/or try to create an MSP and try this in your VBS wrapper, command line directly in MDT.
    MSP files are easily created by going into command prompt to the sources folder of Visio / Project and execute the following command: setup.exe /admin this will start the Office Customization Tool which enables you to create an MSP file.
    When you are ready, execute the following command to install the application with the settings in the MSP: setup.exe /adminfile custom.msp
    Again I can imagine the purpose of the VBS just as I can imagine the purpose of using the config.xml above a custom.msp. But for starters this should get you going to try to find an resolve where the issue lies. In the VBS or somewhere else.
    Cheers!

    Hi There
    i have MS Office Home & Business 2013 in windows 7 Pro .
    word, excel and power point files are taking so much time to be open.  same with the email attachment.
    it shows like "Not Responding"
    file size is not that large as it is taking time.
    if any body have any suggestion kindly share.  i am in deep trouble.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Did the issue occur when you opened the file that stored in the local disk or a network?
    If the issue occurred with the local disk file, please try the following method:
    Word
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Document.12\Shell\Open\Command                
    Rename Subkey “Command” to “Old_Command”                
    Rename Key “ddeexec” to “Old_ddeexec”
    Using FileType Manager change .xls from Word.Sheet.8 to Word.Sheet.12 In the Open Command appended “%1”  
    .docx In the Open Command appended “%1”  
    Excel
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.sheet.12\Shell\Open\Command                
    Rename Subkey “Command” to “Old_Command”                
    Rename Key “ddeexec” to “Old_ddeexec”
    Using FileType Manager change .xls from Excel.Sheet.8 to Excel.Sheet.12 In the Open Command appended “%1”  
    .xlsx In the Open Command appended “%1”   
    ========
    Next, if the issue occurred with network file, the issue may be caused by the Office File Validation, please try to turn off it to test.
    For Excel 2013
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\Options
    Look for a DWORD value labeled DisableRobustifiedUNC set to a value of 1. If this is set on your machine, it's recommended you delete this value or set the DWORD value to 0.

  • Office Web Apps 2013 - Word app not working on Sharepoint 2013 but Excel does

    Hi there!
    We had some problems with Office Web Apps 2013 not working with Lync, and the status of OWA was unhealty so we decided to install some updates for OWA.
    We have downloaded November 2013 update for OWA.
    We found out a guide for putting updates on OWA and done this steps:
    * Remove-OfficeWebAppsMachine
    * Installed the november update
    * Restarted OWA server
    * ran: New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalUrl https://owasrv.domain.local -ExternalURL
    https://owasrv.domain.local -CertificateName "certname" -AllowHttp  -EditingEnabled
    * Restart-Service WACSM
    - checked in IIS in the bindings if the site useses the correct certificate
    Then we went on Sharepoint 2013 and ran some commands:
    * Remove-SPWOPIBinding –All:$true
    * New-SPWOPIBinding -ServerName owasrv.domain.local
    * Set-SPWOPIZone –zone “external-https”
    Now here are the funny things:
    * Excel word app on Sharepoint 2013 works
    * Word APP not working (screenshot)
    * Lync 2013 powerpoint still not working (screenshot)
    * status of OWA is healthy

    Hi,
    The Friendly name field must be unique within the Trusted Root Certificate Authorities store.  In -CertificateName, enter the friendly name you gave your
    certificate earlier.
    Validate the configuration by navigating to the discovery URL of the Office Web Apps server.  Like
    https://xxx/hosting/discovery
    Meanwhile, the issue is related to Lync, I recommend to you to post the question on Lync Server for further discussion via the link below.
