Offline Update Installer for Office 2019 Pro Plus C2R Retail Version

Question

Hello,

I am using the retail version of Office 2019 Pro Plus C2R, and I want to download the latest IMG file with the latest updates included, which is the February 11, 2025 (Version 2501, Build 18429.20158). The available details can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-office-2019.

Right now, I have the IMG file version 16.0.14026.20302, which was downloaded from the subscription section of my Microsoft account and it does not include the latest updates.

So, please provide me with a link to download the IMG file with the latest update included, or provide me with any link where I can download only the update file for the offline installer after installing version 16.0.14026.20302.

Thank you.

I suggest you download the installation package via ODT and configuration file (.xml) on a computer with Internet connection. Then you can copy the installation files to the devices offline.

• Create a folder, we may call it "Test".
• Download the ODT, then run the self-extracting executable file in Test folder.
• Create a new .xml file like following one, we may call it "O2019.xml".

<Configuration>
		<Add OfficeClientEdition="64">
		    <Product ID="ProPlus2019Retail">
		      <Language ID="en-us" />
		    </Product>
		</Add>
</Configuration>

Run the Command Prompt as an administrator, then enter: cd <Test folder path> to navigate to the Test folder;

Then enter: setup.exe /download O2019.xml to download the Office 2019 installation file.

(This process takes a while. When the path to the Test folder appears in front of a separate cursor, it means the download is complete. The Office folder is about 2GB in size. ODT will access Microsoft's CDN, automatically check for the latest version of Office 2019, and then download the complete installation file.)

Copy the entire Test folder (Office installation package, setup.exe and O2019.xml file) to the device that need to install Office 2019. Do not change the name of the Test folder, the folder path can be changed.

Run the Command Prompt as an administrator again on this device offline, enter the command: cd <Test folder path>;

Locate the Test folder, and then enter: setup.exe /configure O2019.xml to install.

Dear Jiajing Hua-MFST,

Thank you for the detailed instructions. I have successfully downloaded the latest Office 2019 setup using ODT and the configuration file.

Before proceeding with the command setup.exe /configure O2019.xml to install Office, I wanted to confirm a couple of things:

1. Is an internet connection required to run the installation process, or can it be done offline since I already have the full setup downloaded to my computer?
2. How can I exclude Skype and OneDrive from the installation process?

Looking forward to your guidance.

Thank you!

Hi,

To supplement my reply.

You may also set the updatepath in your .xml file. Such as: "C:\ODT".

<Configuration>
 <Add OfficeClientEdition="64">
  <Product ID="ProPlus2019Retail">
   <Language ID="en-us" />
  </Product>
 </Add>
<ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
<ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />

<Updates Enabled="TRUE" UpdatePath="C:\ODT" />
</Configuration>

After run download command with this .xml file, the Office installation package will be download, then please copy whole folder to "C:\ODT", then Office will check for updates at there.
