Hi,
How to install only word,excel,powerpoint, not include outlook in office 2021 ltsc version? Thanks.
Use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) to customize the installation.
A: Download the Office Deployment Tool
- Download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) from Microsoft's official site: Office Deployment Tool.
- Run the downloaded executable to extract the files (e.g., to
C:\ODT).
B: Create a Configuration File
- Open a text editor like Notepad.
- Copy and paste the following configuration: xmlCopy code
- OfficeClientEdition: Use "64" for 64-bit or "32" for 32-bit installations. ****************
- Channel: Use "PerpetualVL2021" for the LTSC version.
- ExcludeApp: Add
to prevent Outlook from installing.
Add other apps here (e.g.,) if needed.
- Save the file as
configuration.xmlin the same folder where you extracted the ODT.
C: Run the Office Deployment Tool
- Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Navigate to the folder where the ODT files are located (e.g.,
cd C:\ODT). - Run the following command to start the installation: cmdCopy codesetup.exe /configure configuration.xml
D: Verify Installation
- Once the installation is complete, open any of the installed apps (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint) to ensure they are working.
- Outlook should not appear in the list of installed applications.
Optional: Remove Preinstalled Office Applications
If any unnecessary Office apps (like Outlook) were installed previously:
- Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features.
- Select the specific app and uninstall it manually.
This method ensures a clean and precise installation of only the desired Office components.
