PENDING O365 close all open apps before running the config file to setup O365 Pro Plus.

[Jeneration Me]

I found that my standard O365 installer and config file failed if anything Office related was open on computers. Is there a line in the config file I can add to stop all running office services and close all apps before running.
Also how to unpin shortcuts from the taskbar?

Got the initial issue:
ForceAppShutdown="TRUE">

I'm still trying to figure out how to put in components of the uninstall in the configuration file. Ideas?

Hi may i know how are you packaging the O365 installer ?. SCCM allows you do that within the console.

I set up the installer from SCCM using ODT
Here is my configuration file but even (ForceAppshutdown="TRUE") is not working.

ForceUpgrade="TRUE" ForceAppShutdown="TRUE" should do be fine. Have you updated content to DP's after making the changes to config file ?.
