Consolidated update process
Setup process
Typically, the first step in a corporate installation of Office is to create a network installation point, a task
as easy as copying all files and folders from the Office product CD to a shared network location. At a
minimum, the network installation point contains the language-neutral core package plus language-
specific folders for one language. This installation point serves as the initial source for all users who
install Office.
In the simplest scenario, you deploy an Office product from the network installation point with one
language version and a single set of customizations for all users. Setup handles this scenario
automatically. If you deploy multiple products or languages, you can add them to the same network
installation point and specify exactly which products and languages to include in the installation. In all
these scenarios, Setup performs the same tasks to assemble the correct set of MSI files and complete
the installation.
Note:
The Office 2013 Preview does not let you create an administrative installation point by running
Setup with the /a command-line option to extract compressed source files, as was possible with
Office versions earlier than the 2007 Office system. All installations now occur from the
compressed source.
Setup sequence of events
The basic Setup sequence of events is as follows and occurs in the same order in every deployment
scenario:
1. Run Setup.
2. Check prerequisites.
3. Read XML data.
4. Build the feature tree.
5. Create a local installation source on the user's computer.
6. Install Office.
7. Apply the customization file.
8. Apply software updates.
Run Setup
Setup.exe is the program that begins all the mechanisms of the installation process. It is located at the
root of the network installation point. You run Setup one time for each Office product that you install.
When it runs, Setup searches the network installation point for an Office product to install. If the
installation point contains more than one Office product, Setup gives the user a choice of products to
install.
