[QUOTE="roger_m, post: 1129379, member: 31436"] The .xml file is needed as it tells the setup.exe to download the LTSC version of Office. It the standard way that LTSC versions of Office are installed. With LTSC versions, you can't just go to [PLAIN]setup.office.com[/PLAIN] and enter your product key. [CODE] <Configuration> <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2024"> <Product ID="ProPlus2024Volume"> <Language ID="en-US"/> </Product> </Add> </Configuration> [/CODE] [URL unfurl="true"]https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ltsc/2024/deploy[/URL] It's been packed as a SFX archive as you need all of the contained files to download and install LTSC versions of Office and not just setup.exe.
