How do I add a 365 app to an existing O365 install?

We're working on a pilot install of Office 365.  We think we have the correct set of applications selected at this point.  What we need help with is what to do later when we need add an additional app to an existing install.  Say we want to add Access for someone.

Do I create a new configure.xml file that just has the lines required to install Access?


<Add SourcePath="\\Server\Share" 
      
OfficeClientEdition="32"
      
Channel="SemiAnnual" 
      
Version="16.0.8201.2193" >
  <Product ID="Access">
      <Language ID="en-us" />
   </Product>
</Add> 


Or do I rerun the ODT and create a new complete configure.xml from top to bottom with the one change being the addition of the application (Access in this example)?  


I would rerun the same "setup.exe /configure configure.xml" command against the target computer no matter which configure.xml file I create.

I tried the following which does work.  As a test, I wanted to add Access to an existing install.

1. I created a second configure_plus-Access.xml file where the only difference was to remove the following line from the original configure.xml

 <ExcludeApp ID="Access" />

2. I ran the following on the target PC

setup.exe /configure configure_plus-Access.xml


Access was added to the existing install.

What I would like to know is if I can create a configure-access.xml that adds just Access.  

I will try it out and report back.
