  • If you want Volume Office then select Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 - Volume License in the office suites section. (Don't select the SPLA version)
  • You can add Visio and Project apps if you need them, but ensure that Project / Visio supported language is selected.

  • You need to configure the options till "Language" section only. You can leave the rest as default.

    cd /d C:\Office\
    setup.exe /configure Configuration.xml

It will now install Office.
