Fix Office 2019 Installation Error 30182-1011(3) via ODT
Question details
Users encounter error code 30182-1011(3) when attempting to install Office 2019 using the Office Deployment Tool (ODT).

- Product
- Microsoft Office 2019
- Device & OS
- Windows
- Scenario
- Deploying Microsoft Office on offline workstations using the ODT with AllowCdnFallback set to FALSE.
- Observed behavior
- The installation process fails and throws error 30182-1011(3) because the deployment tool cannot locate the installation files due to an incorrectly specified network SourcePath.
Ensure you have administrator privileges on the workstation and access to edit the configuration.xml file used by the Office Deployment Tool.
Correct the SourcePath in the ODT Configuration File
Fix the error by ensuring the SourcePath points to the root directory of your Office installation files rather than the Data subfolder.
The most common cause of error 30182-1011(3) is an incorrectly configured SourcePath attribute in your XML file. The path must point to the parent folder that contains the 'Office' directory, not the 'Office\Data' folder itself.
Locate your Office Deployment Tool configuration.xml file and open it with a text editor such as Notepad.
Find the <Add> element in the XML file and look for the SourcePath attribute.
Change the SourcePath to the root folder of your installation source (e.g., \\Server\Files\Software\EXE\Office_2019). Ensure it does not end with \Office or \Office\Data.
Save the changes to the configuration.xml file and run the Office Deployment Tool setup command again.

Remove Previous Office Cache Files and Registry Entries
Use the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant to completely remove residual files that might be blocking the new deployment.
Try WPS Office for a Hassle-Free Deployment
If complex deployment tools and network configuration errors are slowing down your workflow, consider switching to WPS Office. It provides a lightweight, easy-to-install solution without the need for complicated XML scripts.
- 1. Download the installer: Visit the official WPS Office website and download the standard installation package.
- 2. Run the setup: Execute the lightweight installer to deploy the software in seconds without any XML configuration.
- 3. Open your files: Launch WPS Office and immediately open your existing Microsoft Office documents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does AllowCdnFallback="FALSE" cause this installation failure?
Setting AllowCdnFallback to FALSE prevents the Office Deployment Tool from downloading missing files from the Microsoft Content Delivery Network. If your local SourcePath is incorrect, the tool has no backup source to retrieve the files, resulting in error 30182-1011(3).
Should my SourcePath include the 'Office' folder?
No. The SourcePath must point to the parent directory that contains the 'Office' folder (for example, \\Server\Share\Office_2019). Do not append \Office or \Office\Data to the path.
Do I need an internet connection to use the Microsoft uninstall support tool?
Yes, the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA) requires an active internet connection to download the latest diagnostic and uninstallation scripts for your specific system.
