Like the web-based installer, offline installer is also available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The 32-bit version installer has a file size of 624.52 MB, and the 64-bit version is of 702.91 MB. If you’re going to install add-ons, Microsoft recommends the 32-bit version for compatibility reasons.
Unlike the web-based installer, there are certain limitations to the offline installer:
- You cannot install and run multiple versions of office simultaneously. That means if you have Office 2010 or Office 2007 installed, you’ll have to remove it before installing Office 2013.
- It also does not support the fast streaming feature.
If you can do with those, here are steps to get the installer:
Download Steps:
- Head over to TechNet Evaluation Center, scroll down the page and click on the link that says “Download the .msi package now”.
