To help bring back some level of customization, Microsoft has delivered a special click-to-run tool called: Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run. But, click-to-run sort of threw a huge wrench into a known process. Microsoft also adjusted the installation technology so that most times just simple command-line switches could be used to supply a personalized installation.Īdministrators have become very familiar with Office product deployments. Originally, administrators needed a working knowledge of the intricacies of the MSI database fields to make adjustments, but new tools came along, particularly from third parties that made the process easier. Prior to click-to-run, Microsoft has always provided customization options, allowing administrators to adapt Office products to the needs of the organization and deliver specialized settings and features. By default, these types of installations would simply download the full Office product with default settings that couldn't be altered, including delivering updates automatically. Historically, click-to-run installations for Office 2013 didn't offer much in the way of control and customization.
