Note
Version 1.0 has been released!
Easily install Office 2019, 2021, 2024, or Microsoft 365. Simply open the program and it will start installing in 30 seconds, or change the options and click Start to run immediately.
Everything is downloaded from the cloud, so you'll always have the latest version available when installing.
Desktop shortcuts will also be created by default for any installed Office applications.
Because it's a tiny 260 KB executable that downloads the latest version of Office and installs it for you. No need to download the installer, write XML configuration files, or run the setup manually.
Yes! This is NOT a bootleg or modified version of Office.
As outlined in How it Works, the software fetches setup.exe directly from Microsoft.
Office still needs a valid license, which you can activate post-installation. Typically, after installing Office, you're given a trial period before you need to activate it.
This project and its creators are not affiliated with Microsoft. This software uses the official Office installer provided by Microsoft, which is publicly accessible.
Being open-source, the source code for this software accessible for anyone to read and inspect.
All rights of Microsoft Office or any of Office products listed belong to Microsoft Corporation.
Note
If you specify a calendar year like 2021, it will limit the selection to non-365 editions only.
Similarly, specifying the calendar year Microsoft 365 will limit the selection to only Microsoft 365 editions.
This is a design choice to make choosing the edition simple.
