==For a silent install, you need to prepare a customization file. Launch the Microsoft Office Customization==Tool using <code>setup.exe /admin</code>. Specify any customisations you require and save them to a MSP file. The MSP file can be saved wherever is appropriate, ideally the installer directory's <code>\updates</code> directory, or elsewhere.

The Package package structure is the same as [[MS Office 2010]], and installation and removing is the same. <source lang="xml"><package id="msoffice2013" name="Microsoft Office 2013" revision="2" reboot="false" priority="72"> <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013" />  <variable name="PKG_PATH" value="%SOFTWARE%\office2013" /> <variable name="PKG_MSPFILE" value="%PKG_PATH%\updates\my-custom.msp" /> <install cmd='%comspec% /C start "" /WAIT "%PKG_PATH%\setup.exe" /adminfile "%PKG_MSPFILE%"' timeout="0" > <exit code="1641" /> <exit code="3010" /> </install>  <!-- Uncomment to remove SkyDrive from Context Menu.

These instructions are derived from the [https://blogs.technet.com/b/office_resource_kit/archive/2011/05/05/using-the-updates-folder-to-deploy-software-updates-with-an-office-2010-installation.aspx equivalent instructions for Office 2010]. 1. Prepare a temporary directory2. Run <code>proplussp2013-kb2817430-fullfile-x86-en-us.exe /extract:"%yourtemporarydirectory%"</code>3. Copy the MSP files from your temporary directory into <code>%PKG_PATH%\updates</code> If you've put your customization file in <code>\updates</code>, make sure that the customization file sorts before everything else in that directory.

There is one anoying Problem annoying problem with Office 2013 Pro Plus. : Even if you didnt didn't install SkyDrive Pro , the Context Menu will still show up and you have to remove a Registry registry key to get rid of it.
