Migrate 64 Bit Office Click to Run to 32 Bit Office in Place

--

Had this in draft mode for months and decided to take a moment and wrap it up. The scenario is you have a 64 bit office standard (in click to run format). How do you take 64 bit installs and migrate them to 32 bit inplace? Here is the Configuration.xml I used to make it happen.

setup.exe /configure MigrateOffice.xml

Here is the code

<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="32" MigrateArch="TRUE" Channel="MonthlyEnterprise" AllowCDNFallback="TRUE" ForceUpgrade="TRUE" OfficeMgmtCOM="True">
<Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume" PIDKEY="NMMKJ-6RK4F-KMJVX-8D9MJ-6MWKP">
</Product>
</Add>
<Property Name="SharedComputerLicensing" Value="0" />
<Property Name="FORCEAPPSHUTDOWN" Value="TRUE" />
<Property Name="DeviceBasedLicensing" Value="0" />
<Property Name="SCLCacheOverride" Value="0" />
<Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" />
<Updates Enabled="FALSE" />
<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
<Remove All="TRUE" />
</Configuration>

Protip:

Run your config through config.office.com to check it for syntax errors and missing properties.
