How to Install Microsoft Office Using Command Prompt?

Published in Software Installation 2 mins read

You can't directly install Microsoft Office using the command prompt. Microsoft Office installation typically involves a graphical user interface (GUI) using the setup files provided by Microsoft.

However, you can use the command prompt to perform some actions related to the installation process, such as:

  • Running the setup file: You can navigate to the location of the Office setup file using the command prompt and execute it to start the installation process. For example, you can type cd C:\Downloads to change directory to the Downloads folder and then type setup.exe to run the setup file.
  • Silent installation: You can use command-line switches to perform a silent installation of Office, which runs the installation in the background without any user interaction. This can be useful for deploying Office on multiple computers.
  • Customizing the installation: You can use command-line switches to customize the Office installation, such as selecting specific features to install or specifying the installation location.

For more detailed information on using command-line switches for Office installation, refer to the official Microsoft documentation.
