1. You'll need to download the Office 2013 or 2016 ISO that you are licensed for and unpack the contents to your PDQ Repository location. Let's use: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Deploy\Repository\PDQTemplates\Office2016

2. Navigate to Start > Run and copy the text below in the Run Prompt to launch the Office Customization Tool:

"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Deploy\Repository\PDQTemplates\Office2016\setup.exe" /admin

3. Use this article as a guide for configuring options: https://www.pdq.com/blog/silently-install-office-2016/

4. Once your configuration file is complete, save your file as C:\Users\Public\Documents\Admin Arsenal\PDQ Deploy\Repository\PDQTemplates\Office2016\Office2016ProPlus32.msp OR you can name this something different, but you will need to update the filename within the install step.

5. Now examine the install step in the package and ensure that the paths\filenames are correct.

6. Test deploying the package to a few clients and confirm proper installation.
