The above XML configuration file specifies that Office 2016 ProPlus 32-bit edition, including Visio ProPlus, will be downloaded in English to the \\\\server\\Office2016, which is the location where Office applications will be saved. Note that the Product ID of the applications will not affect the final licensing of Office. Office 2016 App-V packages with various licensing can be created from the same applications through specifying licensing in a later stage.

After editing the configuration.xml file to specify the desired product, languages, and also the location which the Office 2016 applications will be saved onto, you can save the configuration file, for example, as Customconfig.xml. After editing the **configuration.xml** file to specify the desired product, languages, and the location where the Office 2016 applications will be saved to, you can save the configuration file under a name of your choice, such as "Customconfig.xml."
**Step 2: Download the applications into the specified location:** Use an elevated command prompt and a 64 bit operating system to download the Office 2016 applications that will later be converted into an App-V package. Below is an example command with description of details: **Step 2: Download the applications into the specified location:** Use an elevated command prompt and a 64-bit operating system to download the Office 2016 applications that will later be converted into an App-V package.
