Support the installation of Microsoft office 32-Bit #11918
Comments
Hey! Try now :) |
will it be listed as Microsoft.Office32bit? |
No, WinGet will Install the architecture for your system, when it's x64 you cannot install the package on a x32 system, if it's x86 it will work for both, if it's neutral the installer contains both the x32 and x64 version and will install the suitable architecture for your PC. Microsoft.Office is the one you should install, do a |
The installer should allow the end-user to specify which version (32 or 64 bit) should be installed. Or in this case, Im proposing for there to be a separate 32 bit installer, I do understand the architecture limitations and all, but there are specific scenarios where the 32 bit installer is necessary (mainly compatibility with other programs) |
Ok, @denelon i agree with the architecture switch suggestion. However in this case we cannot force a installer to install a different architecture if the installer don't have the switches for it. If there was a different installer there would be a x64 and x86 InstallerURL in the manifest. |
Denelon already made a Feature Request about this that the search function didn't lead me to.. microsoft/winget-cli#906 |
I've reached out internally to see if there is a plan for a 32-bit installer that would work with the Windows Package Manager. I'm not sure if that's on the roadmap or not. The one currently in the repository is the result of a fix-hack-learn project. Hopefully, there will be more goodness to come 😄 |
Great! Thank you for the info @denelon |
So, if I change the |
You should be able to do @denelon do you know if there is any more cloudconfigs available? |
We can just use Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center to create those configure files. The problem is we need to find a place to store them. |
Once the spec is out for custom repos, this wouldn't be a hard feature to add as an additional endpoint. In the meantime, you could store it as a GitHub Gist if there isn't secrets in your config (like company name or product keys or whatever). |
@OfficialEsco I'll ask about other cloudconfigs. |
Actually I have generated one, because I need to use and only use Word, PowerPoint and Excel from Office 365 home, so I just want to install these three components, however the installer from MS don't let me select. |
It’s possible to build your own cloudconfig. You could then override the switches with |
It would be even cooler is Office could be deployed using MSIX. Obviously, that's outside of the scope of this issue and the winget team but I only hope that someone will see this and pass the message along. |
I've shared the feedback and a link to this Issue with them. |
Hi there, but the given version is anyhow just for enterprises, isn't it? What is with microsoft single / family? Search just shows a deployment or enterprise version.
Or is the comment from lychichem with the home-version .xml also valid for this? If so, yes then please also pass over that all versions are included and the enterprise is taken away - that confuses maximum ;).. |
Yes, my config file is for Office 365 home 64-bit zh-CN version. Feel free to use it. The key is you need to set However, I don't quite agree with your opinion for removing |
You should be able to sign in to that version of Office anyway and it'll adjust your license. You'll have apps you can't use maybe (Publisher/Access) but it'll work I think. |
Both architectures are present in the manifest. You can use the "--architecture" argument to specify x86 or x64 |
