"Install Lite" concept (what it means and how to achieve it safely)

• "Install Lite" commonly refers to minimizing installed Office components to reduce footprint and resource use (exclude Access, Publisher, language packs, etc.).
• Achieve via ODT configuration.xml: use element to specify only required apps, and use to remove undesired apps.
• Use the "SharedComputerLicensing" setting for Remote Desktop Server/VDI where appropriate.
• Avoid third-party "lite" repackagers or cracked installers—these can be malicious, unsupported, and break updates.
