Hey! Just stumbled upon your repo. I've been trying to find an offline installer for Microsoft Office 2021, and all Microsoft could give me is a link for Office 365, pretty frustrating!

How can I use the .ps1 file? I ran it multiple times, but nothing really happened.

Thanks for your help!

Hi! Just download the archive: https://github.com/farag2/Office/releases/tag/2.1.2
There is 2 important file: the script and default uncofigured xml. Expand these 2 files. Configure ps1. As you may see it supports downloading 2019, 2021 and 365 Office with the appropriate apps.
By default it downloads DownloadOffice -Branch ProPlus2021Volume -Channel PerpetualVL2021 -Components Excel, Word
Add the apps you need (see the examples). Save the file and run even with Powershell the context menu. It will start downloading the latest ODT, expand it, remove all unnecessary files and download Office. There will a console opened. No progress bar or any message. Near the ps1 file a new Office folder will appear. It will from 2 to 3,5 GB. Just wait and console will close itself. Now open the ps1 file again (do not touch xml: now it is configured) and place # before the DownloadOffice -Branch ProPlus2021Volume -Channel PerpetualVL2021 -Components Excel, Word string. And uncomment Start-Process -FilePath "$PSScriptRoot\setup.exe" -ArgumentList "/configure "$PSScriptRoot\Config.xml"" -Wait. Save file and run it again ia right button click. It will start installing with a nice installer automatically without any buttons to choose or stop. As soon as it will install, everything will be closed. All apps will be installed. The Office folder might be removed. :)

For sure now you ask: Why this is so strange way to download and install it? All because it is built for admins, not an average users. There is no more old-school installers for Office like it was until Office 2016 with all components to choose from. Only pure config!
