Office Click-to-Run installs the binaries when an Office-bearing ppkg
is selected (e.g. GCCH_Prod_SFLD_StdOffice-x86_*) but doesn't create
desktop shortcuts - operators only see Office in the Start Menu's
Microsoft 365 folder. This baseline script fills that gap.
Self-detects Office by EXE existence at C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft
Office\\root\\Office16\\ or the (x86) equivalent. No Office found =
silent no-op, so it's safe to run on every PC type (Display kiosks,
Wax/Trace, Keyence, etc.) without needing a per-type filter.
Creates Excel.lnk / Word.lnk / PowerPoint.lnk in two places:
- C:\\Users\\Public\\Desktop\\ - visible to all users immediately
- C:\\Users\\Default\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start
Menu\\Programs\\ - inherited by every NEW user profile created
on the device (Azure AD operator logons after enrollment)
Numbered 05- so it runs after 00-PreInstall and 04-NetworkAndWinRM
in the Shopfloor baseline sequence. Idempotent - WScript.Shell's
CreateShortcut overwrites existing .lnks each run.
Outlook / OneNote / Access / Publisher intentionally not shortcutted
(scope decision; can be added by extending the $officeApps array).
