Jemboy Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Several years ago Microsoft published Office 2010 Starter. Office 2010 Starter was a free Office 2010, however some functions were disabled. It installed only Microsoft Word and Excel and showed Microsoft advertisments during use. Microsoft Starter 2010 works with a virtualization technology like V-App. It does not really install Office on your computer, but a virtualized office (like Office in a virtual machine). To do this it creates a drive Q: which is not user accessable . If you are using drive Q: already, Office 2010 Starter won't work. Office 2010 Starter could be installed using a setup (SetupConsumerC2ROLW.exe) which downloaded the installation files from internet. Sometime around 2012, Microsoft pulled the plug, so the installation files couldn't be downloaded anymore. A few days ago, I found the old executable and behold, I got it working again on my old computer with Windows 10 installed. So Microsoft quietly activated the Office 2010 Starter files again, but will they pull the plug again in the near future ? I found out that if the installation files are available locally, the setup won't need internet during the installation. However the setup does not keep the files after installation, so I had to figure out how to get the installation files together locally. Monitoring the installation I got some partial information how to download all the installation files needed. This information was used to create the Office 2010 Starter downloader v1.0.Be ware, this script works as is. Not a lot of error checking has been put in place. E.g. I do not check for downlad errors, but every language folder should be about 700 - 900 MB. You are allowed to use this script in anyway execept asking money for it. In return, I ask you to donate at least € 1 or $1 to an organization against cancer in your country.

Jemboy Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Please download the updated script Office2010S_Download_1F.zip (see attachment in first post) I have updated the script (now v1.0.1), because I noticed twice, some files were not completely downloaded. This could be potentially frustating when you try to install Office 2010 Starter later.😉 The script now requests the filesize before downloading and checks the size after each download. If the file was not downloaded completely, the script wil inform the user and ask comfirmation to download the file again. Only some main languages like Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian and Turkish and Ukrain were tested😀 Downloasing the files could take anything from 5, 10, 20 or even 30 minutes, so the other language have not yet been tested. Should the download for a language not work, some feedback would be appreciated. Also from the downloaded files, I only installed the Dutch, English and Turkish Office 2010 Starter (all seperately) as a test. Known issues: I am using an alternative explorer, and noticed it froze periodically during download, however I have like over 100 Chrome tabs open, so that may also be part of the freeze.

Baguviks Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Does the 32 bit version exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argumentum Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 45 minutes ago, Baguviks said: Does the 32 bit version exist? Yes, actually the office suite is 32 bit. What you can do is install AutoIt and the .au3 file will have a line like this: #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y ,remove it and I'm sure it will work just fine.

Ronklo Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I have tried both 1E and 1F. Both give a message that the version # has changed and asks if I want to locate it and download. Then it says could not find a recent version and exits the install. I have tried changing the DNS to Google 8.8.8.8 and FreeDNS but get the same errors. I'm running a 64 bit Win 10 system. Is there any work around ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted January 31 Developers Share Posted January 31 (edited) Where do you get this message as I've just tried the 1F version and it downloaded a whole bunch of file into the bin directory for my default language (Dutch)?

Ankara Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Thanks for the wonderful tool and script. On Linux, installation with wine has an issue: The script (Both version E and F) couldn't load update directory files and office setup program refuses to install by saying corrupted installation file. The script (version F) itself terminates with the following error message: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argumentum Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 1 hour ago, Ankara said: On Linux, installation with wine You can try the download part on a Windows box and copy the "\bin\" folder. Then run the installation since you've got all the files but, then again, it'll try to make a Q: drive and run it from that and, good luck with wine handling that None the less, try it and let us know if that worked Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ).

Developers Jos Posted February 1 Developers Share Posted February 1 That error is likely due to the fact that the InternetExplorer com objects aren't loaded in wine? I believe this line is the actual culprit: $oHTTP = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") in this func: Func _URLStatus($aURL) ;(c)2016 by VIP - https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/182454-url-status-check/?tab=comments#comment-1310379 $oHTTP = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") $oHTTP.Open("HEAD", $aURL, False) If @error Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) $oHTTP.Send() If @error Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0) Return $oHTTP.Status EndFunc ;==>_URLStatus SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

Ankara Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Thank you for prompt and helpful response. I have downloaded allthe necessary files from a windows 10 machine and copied them to my linux installation without any issue for two different language sets. (I made the full installaton on that windows machine also wtihout any issues.) When I start the setup file (setupconsumerc2rolw.exe) on Linux machine, I got that corrupted installation file message again as attached. It seems that my wine setup couldn't handle the file properly. Thanks again for all the information. And if there are any suggestions to follow I will be more than happy.

In any case, I got it to work in English from the US a few days back. Maybe is country dependent. But again, no clue. Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ).

Developers Jos Posted February 3 Developers Share Posted February 3 Folks, these aren't the supportforums for old microsoft installers. The AutoIt3Part works perfectly and downloads the files. So maybe try to find a forum that has more takers for these kind of issues?
