Has anyone here successfully installed Office 2024? I've been trying to deploy it using the deployment tool and created an XML config file just like I did for Office 2021. However, when I run the command 'setup.exe /configure configuration.xml' on a freshly built Windows device, I get the error message, "This product can't be installed on the selected update channel." I've searched for solutions online, but nothing seems to work. Would appreciate any help!

I’ve deployed Office 2024 on a few new Windows 11 Enterprise systems and a Server 2022 RDSH without issues. If you're seeing the update channel error, it would be helpful if you could paste your XML file here for review.
Have you made sure to uninstall any previous versions of Office before trying to install 2024? According to Microsoft's instructions, you need to remove existing versions before installing Office LTSC 2024. Here’s the link for reference: [Microsoft Deployment Guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ltsc/2024/deploy)
I've done about a hundred installations with Office 2024! You might want to check if you made the XML file manually or if you used the Microsoft online config tool; the tool flags any inconsistent settings, which could be your issue.
Could you share the XML configuration file (minus the serial number)? It's important that your edition and update channel match. You might want to try generating the config file at the Microsoft deployment settings page for more accurate results.
I used the online config creator, so it should be accurate.
