    • In Apps turn apps on or off to include or exclude them from being deployed.
    • Skip the rest.
  2. In Language
    • You have to select Primary Languages
    • If you want, you can select additional language and proofing tools.
  3. Skip Installation section
  4. In Updates and upgrades section
    • Turn off Uninstall any MSI versions of Office, including Visio and Project.
    • Skip the rest.
