asheroto/Deploy-Office

This system is a Windows Forms application designed to deploy Microsoft Office software. It manages the installation process by allowing manual initiation, configuring default settings via an INI file, and excluding specific components like Teams. The tool enforces single-instance execution and secures connections using TLS 1.2.

The application enforces a single-instance execution, meaning only one copy of the program can run at a time. This is configured in the project settings via \Application.myapp\ and \Application.Designer.vb\, which set \SingleInstance\ to \true\. Additionally, the assembly metadata has been initialized with version 1.1.0.0, and the application manifest requests the highest available execution privileges.

The application now requires users to manually click 'Start' to begin the Office installation, removing the previous automatic countdown timer. Users can now configure default settings—such as year, edition, shortcuts, and exclusions—via a new \Deploy-Office.ini\ file. The tool also enforces TLS 1.2 for secure connections and provides options to exclude Microsoft Teams and OneDrive during installation.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

A new Visual Basic .NET project file (Deploy-Office.vbproj) was added, defining a Windows Forms application targeting .NET Framework 4.8. This project bundles the Office deployment tool's source code (Main.vb, Functions.vb) and assets (icon.ico, configuration.xml) into a single buildable unit, enabling the creation of a standalone Windows executable for deploying Office.
