Overview of the Office Customization Tool

The OCT is part of the Setup program and is the recommended tool for most customizations. The OCT

is available only with volume licensed versions of Windows Installer-based Office 2013 Preview, Office

2010, and the 2007 Office system. To determine whether an Office 2013 Preview installation is a

volume licensed version, check the Office 2013 Preview installation disk to see whether it contains a

folder named Admin. If the Admin folder exists, the disk is a volume license edition. If the Admin folder

does not exist, the disk is a retail edition. For information about the network installation point, see

Customize Setup in Customize Setup before installing Office 2013.

You run the OCT by typing setup.exe /admin at the command line from the root of the network

installation point that contains the Office 2013 Preview source files. For example, use the following:

\\server\share\Office15\setup.exe /admin. When you run the OCT, you choose to create a new Setup

customization (.msp) file or to open an existing .msp file. If you create a new file, the OCT displays a list

of the products that are available on the network installation point. You must select a single product that

you want to customize.
