In the Options section, check the box for Require admin password for installationĥ.

In the Post-Installation Behavior section, set On Success: to Do Nothing.

To accomplish this, I’m choosing the following options in the Settings section:

In the case of my project, I want to install with root privileges and not require a logout, restart or shutdown. In this example, I’m not changing any of the options from what is set by default.Ĥ. The information you need is in Chapter 4 – Configuring a project.) You’ll want to make sure that the your information is correctly set here (if you don’t know what to put in, check the Help menu for the Packages User Guide. Once the Packages project opens, click on the Project tab. In this case, I’m naming the project Microsoft Office 2016 15.12.3ģ. Set up a new Packages project and select Raw Package.Ģ. See below the jump for an example using an Office 2016 volume licensed installer package, the Office 2016 15.12.3 updates for Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word, as well the 2.plist license file to build a unified Office 2016 15.12.3 installer package that does not prompt for a product key.ġ. To address this issue, you can use Packages‘ ability to add resources to a Packages-built package. If you have a volume-licensed version of Office 2016 installed on your Mac, you should have this file. The needed file is /Library/Preferences/2.plist. The easiest fix I’ve found in my testing is to get the necessary volume license file from a machine that has Office 2016 installed on it and put it back on an as-needed basis. These two scenarios will likely apply if you’re building a new machine using an automated deployment tool, but likely will not if you’re a home user. Office 2016 is installed and then updated to 15.12.3 without any Office applications being launched between the initial installation and the update.Office 2016 is installed and then updated to 15.12.3 while nobody is logged in.This behavior is seen on Macs in the following cases: This is a problem that I’ve seen before with previous Microsoft Office 2011 installers and usually involves the license file not being applied when it should be. Since my work has a volume license, this isn’t a screen I should be seeing. However, when I installed the combined Office 2016 installer with DeployStudio, then logged in, I was asked to sign into an account and activate Office. I have an existing process to build a combined Office 2011 installer using Packages, which I’ve used successfully for a while, so I decided to see if I could apply the same process to building an Office 2016 installer.

One of the issues I worked on this week was building a new Office 2016 installer after Microsoft began making Office 2016 available to its volume license customers.
