Combine 32 and 64 bit Office 2013 Pro Plus ISO's into a single ISO
Hi Experts! I have two ISO images for MS Office Professional Plus; one for 32 bit installs and one for 64 bit. I also have an Office 2013 Professional ISO that contains the software for 32 and 64 bit installs. How can I combine the two Pro Plus ISO's?
Thanks Experts!
Thanks Experts!

They are two different packages and should be left as two different ISO's. Microsoft distributes 32-bit and 64-bit packages this way.

Thanks for the replies!
Why does (or how does) Office 2013 Pro work on a single DVD?

John Hurst, why do they "have to stay separate"?

Any install (Windows, Office, Adobe and so on) can be packaged on a DVD. Insert the DVD and (normally) setup runs to install.
why do they "have to stay separate"? <--- Separate in terms of integration. One setup will not select which version to install. At least Microsoft supplies them separately. So you can put both packages on one DVD as rindi noted above. But you have to select the package to install

Going back to the question, you could package both packages but you cannot auto-select because (as noted) we mostly all use the 32-bit version even on 64-bit machines.

@Lee W, MVP, when several of the small businesses ordered this software from me, they asked for, under advisement that is not my own, only the 64bit software. I ask them a couple of times if they are sure that is what they want and they confirm they do. I haven't used the 64bit Office Pro Plus on a 64bit PC but I haven't heard anything that sounds promising.
I guess I will have to find out more about why MS recommends not using 64bit Office Pro Plus on 64bit PC's. Do you have any links that you could please post?
@John Hurst, thanks for your help with this. I just couldn't figure out how MS put Office Pro 32/64 bit on the same disc but not the Pro Plus. Either way, thanks for your help with this!
