  2. Double-click the downloaded Office Deployment Tool executable to extract the setup files. These files can be extracted to the same folder from the previous step.

  5. Open the Office Deployment Tool configuration file that you downloaded in step 3 and update the Version attribute in the <Add> element with the targeted build number. The Version attribute should contain “16.0.” plus the build number. For example, if the targeted build number is 13231.20360, the version attribute would contain “16.0.13231.20360”:
    <Add OfficeClientEdition="32" Channel="Current" Version="16.0.13231.20360">
