Install office365 inside Window Container by Dockerfile and ODT

Question

I tried to install excel (or office 365) inside Window container by Dockerfile and ODT (Office Deployment Tool). This is my dockerfile :

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2016

# Install Office deployment tool
ADD https://download.microsoft.com/download/2/7/A/27AF1BE6-DD20-4CB4-B154-EBAB8A7D4A7E/officedeploymenttool_11901-20022.exe C:/deploymenttool_autoextract.exe
RUN C:/deploymenttool_autoextract.exe /quiet /passive /extract:C:

COPY installconfig.xml C:

# Install Office
RUN C:/setup.exe /configure installconfig.xml

ENTRYPOINT powershell

And my install file installconfig.xml:

<Configuration>
  <Add
       OfficeClientEdition="64"
       Channel="Broad" >
    <Product ID="O365ProPlusRetail">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
    </Product>
  </Add>
   <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />  
  <Logging Level="Standard" Path="%temp%" /> 
</Configuration>

Building container stucks hours at install office. I think the problem comes from my installconfig.xml file.

Any advice is welcome!

I'm on a Ubuntu machine, so I'm unable to build this image, but can you try with RUN C:/setup.exe /configure C:/installconfig.xml instead of RUN C:/setup.exe /configure installconfig.xml? Just wondered if the examples did not use the full path for the config file because the command was being executed from the same folder. – Bicker

Did you try to run C:/setup.exe /configure installconfig.xml manually, outside of the Dockerfile? Maybe it requires user input, and in Dockerfile should be run with some flags. Also, maybe there is verbosity flags, that will help find issue. – Aside
