SCCM Office 2019 Package

Question
-
Can you guys please help me understand office 2019 installation? MS has the following: Excel 2019 will be released with Click-to-Run installation technology only. We are not providing MSI as a deployment methodology for Excel 2019. When I create an xml, download a source and install from XML. I only see O365 in add remove. Is this the expected behavior? 2019 shows up as 365?
I fixed an xml and now can see Office 2019, however I am not able to make it install from the local source. It keeps downloading.
<Configuration> <Add SourcePath="c:\temp" OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2019"> <Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume"> <Language ID="en-US" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Word" /> <ExcludeApp ID="PowerPoint" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Access" /> <ExcludeApp ID="InfoPath" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Lync" /> <ExcludeApp ID="OneNote" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Outlook" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Project" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Publisher" /> <ExcludeApp ID="SharePointDesigner" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Visio" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Skype" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Skypeforbusiness" /> <ExcludeApp ID="Groove" /> <ExcludeApp ID="OneDrive" /> <ExcludeApp ID="OneDriveforbusiness" /> </Product> </Add> <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="0" /> <Logging Level="Standard" Path="%temp%" /> </Configuration>

Hi,
The biggest change since Office 2016 is that the installation technology used by the new volume licensed versions of Office is Click-to-Run, instead of Windows Installer (MSI). Click-to-Run has been the installation technology for most Office products since the release of Office 2013.
Even though there is a different installation technology, you can still use Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager to deploy volume licensed versions of Office 2019. Also, how you activate volume licensed versions of Office – for example, by using Key Management Service (KMS) – remains the same.
Configuration Manager (current branch) has a wizard that steps you through the process and builds the configuration.xml file for you. Earlier versions of Configuration Manager require you to download the ODT and create your own configuration.xml file.
If you’re using Configuration Manager (current branch), you can use the Office 365 Client Installation wizard to deploy Office 2019. You must be using at least version 1710, but version 1806 is recommended. You’ll see an entry for Office Professional Plus 2019 in the Office 365 Client Installation wizard. On that same page, you can also select to install Project and Visio.
