Deploying Office on top of Office via GPO

i learned how deploy office via gpo following tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dypbfylh66k

in nutshell, had me use oct make custom file , ran using batch file added startup scripts in gpo. however, batch file written first check if office installed , proceed if isn't.

this works great situations starting scratch. wondering if there way customize approach add missing office feature existing office installation.

for example, computers have word installed. have need add outlook computers in addition word. there way have gpo or script add missing office feature onto existing office installation? , silently, out of sight of users?

i tried forcing original script run disabling check see if office preinstalled, caused office add/remove wizard popup had install manually.

i imagine there must someway silently access/use/manipulate add/remove features wizard office uses.

thanks help!

yes, there 2 methods that;

you can use modified script, modified customization.msp, or, modified config.xml
