How to Download Microsoft Office Version 2108 Build 14332.20685
Question details
The user is searching for a standalone offline installer (.exe) to manually install Microsoft Office Version 2108, Build 14332.20685.
- Product
- Microsoft Office
- Device & OS
- Windows
- Scenario
- Attempting to manually download and install a specific, previously released build of Microsoft Office.
- Observed behavior
- A standalone .exe download cannot be found because Microsoft does not provide separate manual downloads for specific minor Office builds.
Verify your current Microsoft Office version and update channel by opening any Office app, clicking on File, and navigating to the Account section.
Use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT)
Since Microsoft does not provide direct executable downloads for specific versions, administrators must use the Office Deployment Tool with a configured XML file to download and install a target build.
Microsoft uses a Click-to-Run model for Office updates, meaning updates are streamed rather than downloaded as standalone EXEs.
You can bypass this limitation by using the official Office Deployment Tool to force the installation of a specific version number.
Visit the official Microsoft Download Center and download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT). Extract the files to a local folder on your computer (e.g., C:\ODT).
In the extracted folder, open the configuration.xml file with Notepad. Modify the <Add> element to include the target version by adding Version="16.0.14332.20685".
Open Command Prompt as an administrator. Navigate to your ODT folder by typing 'cd C:\ODT'. Run the command 'setup.exe /download configuration.xml' to fetch the installation files from Microsoft's servers.
Once the download finishes (the command prompt will return to the flashing cursor), run 'setup.exe /configure configuration.xml' to install the specific version.
Contact Microsoft Support for Assistance
If you are unfamiliar with command-line tools or XML configurations, you can request direct assistance from a Microsoft support agent.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Microsoft stop providing standalone manual .exe downloads for Office updates?
Microsoft transitioned to a Click-to-Run deployment architecture for Microsoft 365 and modern Office suites. Instead of issuing large, standalone executable files for every minor patch or build, updates are streamed seamlessly in the background directly from Microsoft Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).
Can I revert my Microsoft Office to an earlier build without reinstalling?
Yes. You can roll back to a previous version using the OfficeC2RClient.exe tool. Open an elevated Command Prompt and run '"C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun\officec2rclient.exe" /update user updatetoversion=16.0.14332.20685' to downgrade to that specific build.
Where can I find the release history and build numbers for Microsoft 365?
You can find the complete list of release dates, version numbers, and build numbers on the official Microsoft Learn website. Navigate to the 'Update history for Microsoft 365 Apps' page to view detailed information categorized by update channels (Current, Monthly Enterprise, Semi-Annual).
