Hey all..

 

I work alot on helping fokes with computeres.

som of those things is for instaling Office, so i made a tool you cacn run from a USB key there opens up defrent versions of office installers (14, 15 and 16 in x64 and x86) and it also includes a offline updater so you also always have the latest updates by hand (if you download them) (credit goes to wsusoffline.net)

 

I can upload et online if others like to have hands on it..

atm is the application in English and Danish and are automaticly changing the language based on the computers language.

 

¤ Office install images don't follow whit the application ¤

you wanna help the computer techs out there..create a program that can ..with a few clicks...download the newest versions of certain software...and customize the installs..and auto install them

I do like 4 pcs a week where I am downloading the same damn programs on all of them from filehippo and a few other sites..and I have to click through the customize install on all them cause I don't want all the shitty bloatware/adware in them

If you need remote help fixing something on your computer

I can help over Teamviewer if you wish

Thats some of the reasons i work on this project so i can put all my stuff on a USB HDD and just make it do all my stuff from there... but yeah... i have a lot of work to do and thort i culd share as i go and see if other can use it instead of keeping it for my self.. and i hate to click around on a cluded and messy HDD.. there for the GUI... and i am working on implementing use full stuff on the way so all i need is on that disk and not a bunch of software all around...

ninite provides this functionality and supports quite a lot of programs.

So... once again then: What is the point? Just don't have messy and/or cluttered media.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

The point is that this is the start of a bigger tool there will do more then just open a file..

Other applications also start in a small scale and becomes bigger over time and need.. And now that I'm new to this an learn it on my own hand with no background knowledge to coding and contact to others there know about it I have to start in the weary small and work forward to a bigger project..

Even more fun is it that this was a offer if some one wanted to have it and all folks are doing is to look down on it.. No one force you to do something here..

Step 1: Have a network share.

Step 2: Have install files already on network share.

Step 3:

Have config file:

<Configuration>    <Add SourcePath="\\server\share$\x64" OfficeClientEdition="64">     <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail" >      <Language ID="en-us" />           </Product>    </Add> </Configuration>

Step 4 (the only one that you need to run, but you can easily have it automated on client systems): Run setup.exe /configure <that configuration file up there>

 

Why have perpetual licenses/installs these days? Users leave and enter the organisation on a daily basis, so you can either get volume licencing with downgrade rights (expensive) or just get o365 for your SOE and then give the half dozen special snowflakes their perpetual licenses.

 

EDIT: Seems like others need to look into MDT/WDS/AD&GP and you know actually make an SOE. Then you can use GP to deploy software to existing systems or just use PDQDeploy (or similar). For this type of work, you shouldn't need more then ~60 seconds at the system.

I work privately with this help thing I do to private people in there homes. There for the work on the USB think I have mentioned a few times now...

I already have a server setup in my home for when I do the work in my home.. Also mentioned in a post before...
