Thanks to Karl Timmermans for this answer.I will provide directions that worked for me for a manual (non-script) installation of Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus on Ubuntu 18.04 using PlayOnLinux (POL) v4.3.4 and Wine x86 v3.4. Set the option to always use Profile-Name.Set the option to prompt the user to choose a profile when Outlook starts.To undo this problem, you have to re-launch Control Panel -> Mail and one of the following: Furthermore, the bad profile created will be the default profile, so Outlook will use it even if you subsequently ran Outlook.exe /PIM Profile-Name. That simply fails to do the job in Outlook 2019, though it worked in previous versions of Outlook. This will not work, however, if you previously created an apparently no-email profile using Control Panel -> Mail. To create Outlook 2019 profile without email, not connected to Microsoft, and thus not requiring sign-in to Microsoft, run Outlook.exe /PIM Profile-Name to create an Outlook profile with no email. The hard troubleshooting is captured here. I'm also afraid that the valuable information will disappear along with the question. I'd like to add the answer to my question here because I believe that most people will find it easy to follow. My question was closed with a reference to this question as the original. Run setup /configure custom-configfile.xml Put your custom-configuration.xml in Office2016 as well.įrom an Administrative command prompt cd to Office2016 With the deployment tool provided setup.exe (4.1MB) In Office2016 replace default setup.exe (400KB) Extract the media to a folder (I used Office2016).Make sure your config doesn't have a path set.Once you download the config tool and build your custom-configuration.xml (I suggest renaming it so you know which config you are installing) Please up vote the comments from and on that answer because those people found this info first and deserve recognition of that. I was originally going to add this as a comment to the excellent answer from however I couldn't get the comment to format in a readable state.
