Advanced deployment tools
Everything here rewrites the same script you build on the generator page — turn a switch on, and the PowerShell, batch and XML output pick it up instantly. Nothing is installed or run here; you still download the script and run it as administrator.

install source
Source & payload
Where the Office bits come from and what gets replaced.
Offline installer mode
Runs setup.exe /download first to cache the full Office payload on disk, then installs from that folder. Use it to deploy to machines with no internet, or to install the same build on many PCs without re-downloading the payload on each machine.
Remove existing Office first
Adds a Remove All directive to the configuration so every existing Click-to-Run Office product is uninstalled before the new one installs. Prevents the classic mixed-version and 'another version is already installed' failures.
Download size estimator
A rough figure based on the apps, add-ons and architecture you picked — useful for metered links and for sizing the offline cache.
run behaviour
Safety checks & install UI
What the script verifies before it touches the machine.
Pre-flight system check
Before downloading anything, the script verifies Windows build, free disk space (about twice the payload), reachability of the Microsoft CDN, and reports any existing Office install. If a check fails it stops with a clear reason instead of half-installing.
Silent / unattended install
Full shows Microsoft's normal installer window with progress. None runs the whole install in the background with no UI — the right choice for remote deployment, and it requires accepting the license terms in the config.
Install logging
Writes ODT's verbose install log to a folder you choose, and on failure the script prints the last 25 lines straight into the console so you can see why setup stopped.
after install
Post-install tweaks
Policy keys applied once setup finishes.
Skip first-run experience
Suppresses the 'first things first' opt-in screen and the OneDrive sign-in prompt, so the apps open straight into a blank document the first time.
Quiet connected-experience prompts
Sets Office's privacy policy keys so users are not asked about optional connected experiences on first launch. Nothing is disabled that affects the apps working offline.
Pin apps to the taskbar
Adds PinIconsToTaskbar to the configuration so Word, Excel and the rest land on the taskbar for new users.
Default save format
Forces the default file format in Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Leave it on Default to keep whatever Office ships with.
portability
Config import & export
Save a deployment once, reuse it on every machine.
Export configuration
Downloads your full setup — edition, architecture, language, channel, apps, add-ons, activation mode and every toolbox switch — as a single JSON file you can commit to a repo or hand to a colleague.
Import configuration
Load a previously exported JSON to restore the exact same deployment. The generator page updates immediately, and an Undo action is offered in case you picked the wrong file.
Toolbox options are stored in this browser and shared with the generator page, so your script always reflects what you set here. Head back to the generator to preview and download it.
