Automatic Installation Volume License Office 2019 with MDT

-
Hello,
i want a automatic installation of Office 2019 deployed with MDT (as application).
With earlier versions of MS Office i did by : setup.exe /config proplus.ww\config.xml
I think this is not possible anymore with Office 2019.
Until now i can deploy office 2019 with the setup.exe and configuration-Office365-x64.xml
My xml-file is:
<Configuration>
<Add OfficeClientEdition="64" DownloadPath ="http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/ea4a4090-de26-49d7-93c1-91bff9e53fc3">
<Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume"> PIDKEY="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx" >
<Language ID="MatchOS" />
</Product>
</Add>
<Updates UpdatePath="http://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/ea4a4090-de26-49d7-93c1-91bff9e53fc3" />
</Configuration>With this setup, the volume licensing version is downloaded, and installed.
Problem:
After starting an Office Application, office must still be activated with the same key.
Anybody having a (better?) solution for the deploying Office 2019 with mdt?
Anybody having a solution for the activation-problem?
Thx

I used my config.xml to download the files and then went ahead and used 7z SFX builder to build an executable file that ran the command I needed to install Office 2019. I have yet to run into an issue where it asked for additional activation.
Hi, you can share this script to finetune?
Anybody else who have made an automatic MDT-installaton of Office 2019 Volume Licensing?

Here is the contents of the txt file I use in conjunction with the 7zip SFX builder program.
;!@Install@!UTF-8! InstallPath="%temp%\\Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019" GUIMode="2" RunProgram="setup.exe /configure Standard.xml" ;Config file generated by 7z SFX Builder v2.1.

You have an extra > in the line prior to your Product key.
Should be
<Product ID="ProPlus2019Volume" PIDKEY="xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx" >
I found this out by using your config file for my own installation and discovering that the syntax had an issue.
Hope this helps
