This feature allows multiple versions of Office to run on the same computer. Once the entire download is complete and the software has been installed, the end user can run Office offline.Ĭlick-to-Run uses embedded App-V 5 technology to run Office in an isolated environment. If the end user clicks on a part of Office that has not yet been downloaded, Click-to-Run will jump ahead to that part of Office and make it available. Streaming allows the end user to open and use Office before the entire software suite has been downloaded. Click-to-Run streams Office installs over a network, much the same way YouTube streams videos to website visitors. Traditional software downloads require a complete (and sometimes lengthy) download before the product can be unpackaged, installed and used on an endpoint computer.
