Do you want to Download Office 365 ISO? Due to some problems, yesterday I installed a clean version of Windows. The first software I need as a blogger is Microsoft Office.

I have an active subscription to Office 365, but it comes with an online installation. If you have a slow Internet connection like mine, then you can’t afford the online installation process. That’s why I always prefer Office 365 offline installer or ISO image files.

There is no official way to get Microsoft Office 365 standalone installer. You can download Office 2016 ISO, and you’ll get Office 365 as an option in that, but the file size is more than 4 GB.

If you install 365 through the online installer, it’ll not be more than 2 GB. The 32-bit version is around 1.7 GB, and the 64-bit is 1.9 GB. Then why should you download the extra GBs?

Office 365 is a subscription-based application to access Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access) as well as productivity services over the Internet. There are two types of plans for Home and Business users.

You can subscribe to any of these two plans on a monthly or yearly basis. Once you subscribe, you need an Internet connection to install the package and it can be used up to 5 devices for Home plans and up to 300 users for Business plans.

3. Open configuration.xml in the text editor and change the like this and save it:

<Configuration>
<Add SourcePath="C:\Office365" OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="Monthly">
<Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
<Language ID="en-us" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Updates Enabled="TRUE" Channel="Monthly" />
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
</Configuration>

You can change the bolded red lines according to your preference.

SourcePath: Where the files you want to save.
OfficeClientEdition: If you need the x86 client version then change it to 32
Product ID: There are three types of products; O365HomePremRetail, O365BusinessRetail and O365ProPlusRetail
Language ID: If you need another language package

4. Once everything is done, open command prompt and run the below command to begin the downloading process.

6. Once the file has been downloaded, run the below command to start the installation process.

setup.exe /configure configuration.xml
