Tohelp with issues you might encounter when installing Microsoft 365 because of slow speeds or unreliable connections, as a first step download the Support and Recovery Assistant tool. (For information about this tool, go here.)
If the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant didn't help, follow the steps below that are specific to your plan. You need to be connected to the internet to download this installer file, but once that's done, you can then install Microsoft 365 offline on a PC at your convenience.
If your Microsoft 365 product is one of the following, you have a Microsoft 365 for home product. This can be a subscription, or a one-time purchase of Microsoft 365 Office, or individual Microsoft 365 application. These products are usually associated with a personal Microsoft account.
If your Microsoft 365 product is one of the following, you have a Microsoft 365 for business product. These products are usually associated with a work or school account, and your Microsoft 365 license (if your subscription has one) came from the organization where you work or go to school.
To download the offline installer, go to
www.office.com. If you're not already signed in with the Microsoft account associated with your copy of Microsoft 365 or Microsoft 365 do that now. If you're signed in with a different account, sign out of that and then sign in again with the correct Microsoft account.
Once the download is complete, open File Explorer and locate a new virtual drive, for example (D:). This drive contains the Microsoft 365 installation files. If you don't see the new drive, locate the image file you downloaded and double-click it. The new drive should appear in your directory.
Select the Microsoft 365 folder from the virtual drive and then double-click either the Setup32.exe to install the 32-bit version of Microsoft 365, or Setup64.exe to install the 64-bit version to begin the offline installation. If you're not sure which version is right for you, see Choose the 64-bit or 32-bit version of Office.
If you have a Microsoft 365 for business product you can use the Microsoft 365 Deployment Tool (ODT) to download and install Microsoft 365 or Microsoft 365 offline. The tool is designed for enterprise environments and runs from the command line, so the steps are more complicated--but they'll still work for installation on a single device.
You must have a Microsoft 365 or Microsoft 365 license assigned to you to install and activate the Microsoft 365 apps. To check if you have one, see What Microsoft 365 business product or license do I have?
If you have a Microsoft 365 Apps for business or Microsoft 365 Business Standard plan, you need to download the Microsoft 365 Apps for business version. For all other plans, download the Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise version. See the following if you're not sure which version to install:
It can take a while to finish downloading and it may look like nothing is happening while the files are downloading. You'll know the installation is complete once the dialog box closes on its own, and a new folder called Office appears in the ODT folder you created earlier.
Were these steps helpful? If so, please let us know at the bottom of this topic. If they weren't, and you're still having trouble installing Office, tell us what you were trying to do and where you had difficulties. We'll use your feedback to double-check our steps and provide additional information.
I need an offline installer with most of the utilities commonly needed. Somehow the default installer confuses me with all its package selection. I installed Cygwin but I can't find the diff utility after the installation.
Here are instructions assuming you want to install Cygwin on a computer with no Internet connection. I assume that you have access to another computer with an Internet connection. Start on the connected computer:
Have a look at GnuWin32 instead. It's Windows ports of the command line tools and nothing else. Here is the installer for the GnuWin32 diff.exe. There are offline installers for all the common tools.
There is another solution to creating an offline Cygwin installer, which is using 'pmcyg' ( ). If you give pmcyg a list of Cygwin packages you'd like to have available, it will automatically download all of them, their dependencies, and the setup.exe into a folder that you can then burn onto a cdrom.
I'm not a big fan of Cygwin. It is good if you have some Unix code that requires a full POSIX system, I suppose. Even then, using it renders your programs GPL (due to the GPLed DLL), unless you pay Red Hat for a different license.
Most people should be using MinGW (and MSYS) instead. This gives you the Unix shell and utilities (even compilers, if you want them) without the purposely infectious DLL. Most of the folks using GNU compilers on Windows are using MinGW (although some don't realise it).
The SourceForge download page is here. I'd suggest starting with the MSYS Base System package, which will give you the coreutils, Bash, make, tar, etc. If there's other stuff you need, you can pick and choose from the list of packages.
Visual Studio is designed to work well in various computer configurations. In this article, you learn how to create an offline installation package of files for installation on the local machine.
If you are an enterprise IT administrator who wants to perform a deployment of Visual Studio throughout a network of client workstations, or if you need to create an installation package of files to transfer to or install onto another machine, refer to our Visual Studio Administrators Guide, the create a network-based installation of Visual Studio page, and the deploy a layout onto a client machine documentation.
Sometimes online access is problematic. For example, you might have an unreliable internet connection or your internet connection might have low bandwidth. For situations like these, you have other methods available for acquiring Visual Studio. You can use the Download all, then install feature from the Visual Studio Installer to download an installation package on the local machine before you install it locally, or you can use the command line to create a local installation package to install locally later.
To download a local installation package, select the Download all, then install option in the dropdown at the bottom of the Workloads tab of the Visual Studio Installer. The purpose of this feature is to download the Visual Studio packages in advance on the computer where Visual Studio will eventually be installed. By downloading the packages locally first, you can then safely disconnect from the internet before you install Visual Studio.
The Download all, then install functionality downloads a Visual Studio installation package that is customized to the local machine. Don't transfer this downloaded installation package to another computer, as it's not designed to work that way.
If you want to download an installation package, host it on a network share or an intranet website, and transfer it to or install it on another machine, then you'll need to create a network layout as described in the create a network-based installation of Visual Studio documentation.
You can also configure future updates of Visual Studio to respect the Download all, then install behavior. For more information, see the installation and download behavior documentation.
Download the correct bootstrapper for the version and edition of Visual Studio you want and copy it into the directory you want to use as the source location for your local layout. The bootstrapper is the executable you use to create, update, or modify your local layout. You must have an internet connection to complete this step.
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the bootstrapper, and use the bootstrapper's parameters to create your local layout. You must have an internet connection to complete this step.
You can install a language other than English by changing en-US to a locale from the list of language locales, and you can use the list of components and workloads to further customize your local layout.
