Office 2016’s default installer is all-or-nothing, but its deployment package can be told to skip specific apps. The process below uses the Office 2016 ISO, a virtual drive, and a small configuration file to produce a leaner installation.

You need the Office 2016 installation ISO, DAEMON Tools Lite (https://www.daemon-tools.cc/chn/downloads), and the office2016install.zip package (https://pan.baidu.com/s/1jIMOFfK). Install DAEMON Tools Lite, then mount the ISO to a virtual drive. Download and extract office2016install.zip; it contains setup.exe and configuration.xml.

Open configuration.xml. The sample below points to virtual drive G:\, selects the 64-bit Office client, uses Simplified Chinese, and excludes several apps. SourcePath is the installation source; change G:\ if your mounted drive has another letter. OfficeClientEdition controls whether the 32-bit or 64-bit client is used. Language sets the installation language. Each ExcludeApp entry leaves out a component. In this example Groove, InfoPath, Lync, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and SharePoint Designer are skipped, so Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access are installed. Remove an ExcludeApp line for an app you want to keep, and add one for any app you want to skip.

<Configuration>
    <Add SourcePath="G:\" OfficeClientEdition="64" >
        <Product ID="ProPlusRetail">
        <Language ID="zh-CN" />
        <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" />
        <ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" />
        <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" />
        <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" />
        <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" />
        <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" />
        <ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" />
        </Product>
    </Add>
</Configuration>

When the file is ready, open an administrator Command Prompt in the folder containing setup.exe and configuration.xml, then run:

setup.exe /configure configuration.xml

The installer will use the XML file and install only the selected Office applications.
