Our verdict
Admins and power users use ODT to control exactly which Office apps, languages and update channel get installed, for example installing only Word, Excel and PowerPoint, or deploying to many PCs from a local share. You describe the install in an XML file and run setup.exe /download and /configure. It's a 3.1 MB self-extractor with sample XML files. It does not include a licence: you still need Microsoft 365 or a valid Office product.
Key features
- Choose which Office apps and languages to install
