Where do I find an older build of Office 2019? (lemmy.world)

I need a specific build of Office 2019 to fix a conflict with another piece of software. That vendor is pointing the finger at Microsoft, and of course, MS is pointing the finger back at them. What I know for certain is that Version 2402 (Build 17328.20184) is the most recent working version. What I don't know is where to find that installer. I installed a much earlier build and tried to update it manually from the MS Update Catalog but the updates would not install, and that version has a completely different bug that makes it unable to print from Outlook.

Thanks. Where do I find a time machine?

Maybe this process can be applied to not-365 Office

Seconded. ODT is the way to go, used to use it a lot back in my sysadmin days to generate specific builds.

Thanks, this looks like the answer. Any idea what the version string should be in the ODT config file for build 17328.20184? It looks like they want a major version number first, so Office 2016 was v16.0.xxxxx.xxxxxx. Is 2019 v17 or v19?

This page is your friend, bookmark it cause you'll be referring to it multiple times ;) : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/update-history-microsoft365-apps-by-date

In saying that, all Office versions since 2016 have been called v16 - so that first bit won't change (unless MS pull another stunt like Windows 11).

Also worth taking a look at this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/office-deployment-tool-configuration-options
