Creating an Office Click-to-Run Package

DSM uses the click-to-run technology which makes packaging Microsoft Office packages much easier. You can simply create the package and then assign it. To assign the package, you can specify the required configuration with the DSM installation parameters.

How to create a click-to-run Office package and how to assign it with a specific configuration:

1. Select the software folder in the Software Library.
2. Select the task Create Application package > Office  Click-to-Run and then follow the wizard.
3. Enter a Package name.
   The system uses the available template with the required installation parameters as package template.
4. Make sure to copy the right version of the click-to-run Installer to the Extern$ directory of the package. If you have stored the installer locally, the wizard copies the file for you.
   Download the Installer for the Office 2016 version from here.
5. Click Continue and finish the packaging process.

   DSM creates the eScript Package.

6. Release the package.
7. Assign the package to the installation target.
8. Use the Policy wizard as usual.
   Make sure to specify the installation parameters correctly. Allow for individual configuration of the Office installation.
   Most parameters have tool tips to help you.
