Trouble installing microsoft office 2013

 When i try to install Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 32 bit i get the message "Please Wait, were sorry. It looks like another installation is running. Please wait until it's finished and try installing Office again" although i
do not have any other installations running. And once i press close to that Microsoft Bootstrapper "stops working" I have windows 7. Please help, thankyou!

Hi,
First, try to reboot your computer to check the issue, if the issue still occurs, then try the following methods.
Note: Modifying REGISTRY settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of REGISTRY settings can be solved. Modifications
of these settings are at your own risk.
I need you to check in the registry for a certain subkey that might be there. The subkey we are looking for is called “InProgress”
 From your desktop click the Start
button
In the search field type “regedit” (do not hit enter, “regedit.exe” will appear in the start menu)
Right-click “regedit.exe” and select “Run as administrator”
(If you receive the User Account Control message, select continue or allow to proceed)
You should now be the Registry Editor.
Now we are going to browse to the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Expand SOFTWARE
Expand Microsoft
Expand Windows
Expand CurrentVersion
Expand Installer
Under the “Installer” key do you see the subkey “Inprogress”, if so, right-click the “Inprogress” subkey and select delete.
After you delete the “Inprogress” subkey, close the Registry Editor and any other window that you may have open and restart your computer.

  • Captivate 7 Stuck Loading after installing Microsoft Office 2013

    Before the problem started, I initially had Adobe Captivate 5 (not 7) and have been working fine until I installed Microsoft Office 2013. As I tried to start Captivate 5, it gets stuck on the loading page—the welcome screen never shows up. After I checked this blog on the forum, which is blaming 3rd party fonts that may cause this issue to happen—I never installed any 3rd party fonts—I wasn’t sure if Office 2013 come with additional fonts that are not compatible with Captivate 5. So I removed Captivate 5 and installed the trail version of Captivate 7 (32 bit) thinking that Captivate 7 will be okay with any additional fonts that come with Microsoft Office 2013. Still having the same issue—can’t get the welcome screen—stuck on the loading screen. Regardless, whether I try to start the software or try to open an existing Captivate file by double clicking.
    As per another blog on the forum, I also tried removing/renaming Captivate folder located in C:\Users\MYUSERID\AppData\Local\Adobe but that didn’t help either. Now I have completely removed Captivate 5 folder from the directly as I have installed Captivate 7—still stuck with the same problem.
    I am running Window 7 Professional (32 bit), have the latest version of Java SE 7 Update 25, downloaded latest AIR update and of course every time removed any software, I did restart the computer to update the registration keys before installing a newer version of a software.
    You help and advice will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!
    Regards,

    Hello Parth.
    Many thanks for your help! It worked!
    After deleting every font I could (out of 820 fonts, ended up deleting 687 fonts--only 133 remined that were proected-system fonts) I am successfully able to launch Captivate 7. I guess Microsoft Office 2013 did install some fonts that conflicted with Captivate 7 (even version 5). By the way, Myriad Pro, my favorite font when it comes to Captivate, is also system-protected that I couldn't delete. I now just have to work on Part B, and slowly reinstore the deleted fonts in small batches to keep Captivate working.
    Thank you again for the tip ... much appreicated!
    Regards,

  • How do I install Microsoft Office 2013 on my Mac via my Windows 8 Parallels Desktop 8 partition?

    I recently bought a copy of Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2013 and Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac.
    I wanted to install a Windows partition on my Mac so that I could run MS Office 2013 on a virtual machine.
    I set up the VM, and everything was looking fine and worked smoothly.
    Then, when I inserted the MS Office 2013 disk into the CD drive, nothing happened!
    I tried to install MS Office 2013 but to no avail.
    Does anyone know how to overcome this issue?
    Thanks.

    In the Configure menu item, under Virtual Machine, configure the CD/DVD to be recognized by your SuperDrive:
    The only drawback is that you have to quit Parallels for the drive to be recognized by the Mac again.
    I just purchased the Office 365 subscription for both Office 2011 on my Mac and Office 2013 on my Windows 7 side - sure makes life simpler, and less expensive.

  • Trouble Installing Microsoft Office 2008 10.8

    Getting a headache trying to find a clear answer on this -- if I can't install Office Entourage PowerPoint Excel on 10.8.3 in 2013, is it possible?
    I just did an Erase and clean fresh install of Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (late 2011 MacBook Pro).
    I have Microsoft Office Mac 2008 Upgrade (not worried about the Upgrade issue), however
    My installer is version 12.0
    To get to current 12.3.6 — I will need to run three updates manually (the Auto Update feature didn't work the  last time I installed under 10.7 so I expect to do the same under 10.8):
    12.1
    12.2
    12.3
    I read there may be a problem running the three service pack updates manually because they may not work in the Apple Store Auto Update Software Update routines....
    Has anyone done this or know of a clear source to confirm what to expect, how to install and update Office 2008?
    PLEASE ADVISE

    Figured out how to install Microsoft Office 2008 Upgrade 12.0 onto a fresh start-from-scratch clean 10.8x Mountain Lion install -- it is possible with no problems and here are instructions how to do it:
    Manually download the following updaters:
    Service Pack 1, 12.1.0: Office2008-1210UpdateEN.dmg
    Service Pack 2, 12.2.0: Office2008-1220UpdateEN.dmg
    Service Pack 3, 12.3.6 (or latest)
    Run the Office 2008 installer from the install disk.
    When the Upgrade prompts you for an eligible version, insert your full retail install disk, and point the updater to that disk's root folder — note my full retail Office 98 disk didn't work, but my Office 2004 full retail disk did the trick.
    Run each Service Pack as needed.
    After all are updates are manually ran, then run the Office software update.
    I can confirm Office 2008 installed on Mountain Lion and appears to be working as expected on my Late 2011 MacBook Pro, 10.8.3.
    Lanny& Barney-15E THANK YOU FOR THE CORRECT ANSWERS!

  • Trouble installing Microsoft Office 2003 on my mac

    Hello all,
    I was just attempting to install Microsoft Office 2003 (Student and Teacher Edition) on my Mac and I haven't had much success thus far.
    Basically I've put the install disc into my Mac, the disc icon pops up on my desktop, but I can't seem to get it to install. Should it be doing this automatically, or is there something else I need to do? I've tried dragging the disk icon to my applications folder, but not luck.
    I feel like this is a relatively elementary issue, but I haven't been able to find any other help regarding this specific problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your time,
    Garrett

    Office 2003 is for Windows only. 2004 and 2008 run on Mac OS.
    If you are in fact using 2004 or 2008, then please post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products at http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

  • Trouble installing Microsoft Office home and student 2010

    Hi,
    I'm new to Apple, i'm trying to insatl Microsoft office home and student 2010 onto my mac but it keeps saying "you can't open the application "setup.exe" because microsoft windows does not support the application"
    could anyone help?
    Kind regards
    Jordan

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It looks like you are trying to install Office 2010 on OS X. That's not possible because that version is for Windows, so you have to install Windows on your Mac. As you are going to use it only for Microsoft Office, download Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox, and install Windows on a virtual machine.
    Another option is to purchase Office for Mac > http://www.microsoft.com/mac

  • Anyone having trouble installing microsoft office mac home student ?

    keeps saying i have to shut down safari, but even once i've shut safari down it still doesnt go to completion....  :S

    Another point of interest at the end:    If you see a blue, horizontal, oval light on the Dock under the Safari icon then Safari is open.  The same applies to any application for that matter. 
    Clicking the red button at the top left corner of the window does not Quit Safari.  Instead it closes the window.  To properly Quit Safari, click the Safari menu, then click Quit Safari.   Alternatively, Command-Q is the keyboard short cut. 

  • How do I install acrobat addon into microsoft office 2013

    I've just installed Microsoft office 2013 and I can't figure out how to install the acrobat add on so I can create pdf files from within word, powerpoint and excel. This is very frustrating.
    Brad

    You have to have an updates Acrobat XI. Previous versions of Acrobat do not work with OFFICE 2013. In that case, you will have to print to the Adobe PDF printer. We have no idea what version of Acrobat you are running and that is probably the issue.

  • Microsoft Office 2013 has stopped working

    Please can you help?  My PC is running Windows 8 Professional Plus 64 bit.  I downloaded and installed Microsoft Office 2013 32 bit and it worked perfectly until I changed my graphics card to an Asus Radeon HD6450 Silent.  Since then, all
    the programmes, Outlook, Word, Excel etc. have stopped working.  I have Microsoft Office 2010 32 bit installed as well and that is still working fine.
    I have tried removing COM Add-ins and have also repaired MS Office 2013 but neither have worked.  I have read the KB article but the driver dlumd32.dll does not appear to be installed on my machine.  All the applications will run in Safe Mode.
    I have uninstalled Office 2013 and re-installed it but at the end of the installation I got the ‘Microsoft Office has stopped working’ message.

    Hi Lesley,
    By checking the event log you provided, it seems this problem also occurs with Internet Explorer, isn't it?
    And most of them are related to the atidxx32.dll file, I'd suggest we remove the graphics driver and see if this problem will still occur, if no, try to install any ohter version of graphics driver to see if this problem will still occur.

  • Should I have installed Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit with Ex 2013 SP1?

    I have installed Exchange 2013 SP1 on a 2012R2 server, and all went well (I am at early stages of migration).
    Following the pre-reqs listed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx#WS2012
    I installed Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit only.
    Since then I have seen other articles suggesting that I install:
    Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit
    Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack SP1 64 bit
    Given I didn't notice any errors in the install, do I need to install those filter packs or is that outdated advice?
    regards
    Roga

    Thanks for taking the time to post Ed
    I did a bit more research and it appears that there is more than one view on this.
    E.G. this blog
    Why Exchange 2013 doesn’t need the Microsoft Office Filter Pack says:
    "Exchange 2013 swaps MSSearch for the Search Foundation, a component shared with SharePoint 2013. The Search Foundation has no need of the Office Filter Pack because it includes its own filters. Unfortunately, until SP1 came along,
    the Exchange 2013 Setup program overlooked this fact and stated that the Office Filter Pack was a prerequisite. Setup would install if the Office Filter Pack was missing, but who’s going to ignore a warning issued by Setup. In any case, that warning seems
    to have finally been suppressed."
    This blog
    Planning and migrating a small organization from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (Part 10) has:
    "After choosing the relevant setting needed to begin installation, the Exchange 2013 setup program will now perform readiness checks. Assuming these complete successfully, we'll expect to see just one warning.
    This warning relates to the lack of the Office 2010 Filter Packs, which are not required for installation, and are only required to create Transport Rules for OneNote or Publisher files"
    And this one
    Exchange Server 2013 FAQ: Is the Office Filter Pack Required?
    "The Exchange 2013 pre-requisites page on
    TechNet, at the time of this writing, does include the Office Filter Packs as a step in the preparation of a server for Exchange 2013. What it doesn’t make clear is that they are not required.
    The new Exchange Search already has support for indexing/searching Office file types, as well as a series of other file types including some third party formats such as PDF. You can see a full list
    here.
    So should you install the Office Filter Pack? If you want to stop seeing that warning message, then yes. If you want to take the approach of only installing required software on your servers, then no. Consider also that installing it means potentially having
    to update it later on if there is a bug fix or a security issue."
    The final para above is the approach that I have now taken, but if someone can give me a good reason to install office 2010 filter packs on Ex 2013 sp1 I'll revise my view
    regards

  • How to Install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits

    I am with problems to have acess to the link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12187
    Why?
    I want do install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits. How can I do it?
    Thanks.

    Hello Carla Sofia,
    Visual Studio installation do not depends on Microsoft Office 2013. They do not have relationship here. I think your problem is that you cannot find the link to install Visual Studio 2010.
    In order to know why, please see here:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Visual%20Studio%202010&Filter=FilterNO
    The mainstream support for Visual Studio 2010 is already expired and that is why you cannot open any link about Visual Studio 2010 Setup.(I cannot verify whether that link is about VS2010 Setup.)
    I think you need to think about the following:
    1. If you need Visual Studio 2010, you may have to consider some other channels. For example, official site you can try use MSDN Subscription. For non-official site. Sorry I cannot provide any place for you
    2. You can use other latest version of Visual Studio, for example, we have Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015 for you to use. You can also use Visual Studio Express 2010 version. It is still available for download.

  • Microsoft office 2013 encountered an error during setup in Window 8.1

    Initially, I got microsoft office 2013 64bit standard version installed in window 8.1. However, it suddenly got errors when opening office, and closed the program automatically. Therefore, I uninstalled it, and tried to re-install office.
    However, I got the error "microsoft office 2013 encountered an error during setup" everytime when I try to install it.
    I tried 32-bit and 64 bit version, and tried to install in clean boot, deleted registry, and modified the folder name "Microsoft Help", but none of them works. 

    Make sure you completely uninstall previous versions of Office. There may be remnants left behind, even after you uninstall Office using the normal procedure. I recommend using the “Fix It” utility to uninstall Office 2013 completely. Please refer to this
    article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-us you might also follow the manual steps provided on the same page.
    If you still having problems, re-registering the Windows Installer and checking permissions on the %TEMP% folder and the C:\Windows\Installer folder to make sure you have full-control. To re-register the Windows Installer run the following commands:
    msiexec /unregister
    msiexec /register

  • Microsoft Office 2013 is not working on Windows 8

    I downloaded Microsoft office 2 days ago.  Since then Window 8.1 update has basically attempted to ruin my life.  Since I attempted to download the update (which will not download properly no matter how many times I try) Microsoft office will not
    open on my computer.  All the apps are still there. But they simply will not open. I have tried going to the start and typing the stuff in safe mode, still nothing happens! Can someone please help me? I am beyond frustrated with my brand new computer,
    Windows 8.1, Microsoft, and everything about this situation.

    Hi,
    Did only the Office suits not open or all the apps after you upgrading to Windows 8.1? Please do the following tests to narrow down the issue:
    First test:
    If only the Office suits could not be opened, please go to Office 2013 installed folder, such as C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15 and double click apps to open them.
    If all the apps could not be opened, please press win+R and copy the path:
    %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1} to Windows 8 app folder double click apps to open them.
    If they are both opened in folder, please try to unpin and repin apps on start screen.
    If they still do not work, do the second test.
    Second test:
     If only the Office suits could not be opened, please try to re-install the Office 2013 to test.
     If all the apps could not be opened, Please follow these steps to check the issue.
    Step 1: Try App troubleshooter:
    http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/4/F24D0C03-4181-4E5B-A23B-5C3A6B5974E3/apps.diagcab
    Step 2: Re-register app files:
    Run the following in a Command Window (CMD) to re-register the Store App:
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML
    For your reference:
    Fix Store App in Windows 8.1 (AppxManifest.XML)
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/notime/archive/2013/10/18/fix-store-app-in-windows-8-1.aspx
    Step 3: If the issue still persists, please try to log on with local account and re-bind your Microsoft account in Windows Store to see what’s going on.
    Hope these could be helpful.

  • Installing MS Office 2013, whew!

    I wanted to share an experience I had today regarding MS Office in case it helps someone else... 
    I got my new E440 on about April 2nd. I didn't unbox it until the 3rd. I can tell by the calendar in the configuration history shown in the Lenovo Solution Center. I didn't really get going until the 4th. Anyway, I activated the MS Office trial many days later. Then, my laptop seemed to have gotten screwed up somehow (not by the MS Office activation, but by something else). I hadn't really done much with it, so yesterday, I ended up restoring back to the restore point created on 4/3. When I tried to use MS Office again, it wouldn't re-activate - just nothing happened when I clicked on it. I looked in the configuration history and had "System Events" of APPCRASH regarding firstrun.exe. I searched for this file and it as located in one of the MS Office folders. So I figured something got messed up because I had already activated the trial, and then restored back to earlier in time before I had activated it. So today I uninstalled it and purchased MS Office Professional online. Then the fun really started...
    When I installed "MS Office 2013 Professional", I kept seeing MS Office 365... I got an email from MS regarding Office 365. I looked online to see how I could find out what version I was running and, lo and behold, it said Office 365. But on the MS web site after I entered my key code, the confirmation said Office Professional (I had captured a screen print)...  So I fired off any angry email to the site where I purchased Professional thinking they had charged me for Professional but provided Office 365. I couldn't talk to them because they were closed for the day.
    Then, I called Microsoft. And worked with them for almost THREE HOURS to resolve the issue. They confirmed the key code was for Professional. They were great. Somehow, even though I uninstalled the trial version, the Office 365 subscription was still attached to my MS account. It took him a long time to get rid of it. For a while, I had both Professional AND 365 attached to my account.
    All is good now, but wow, it was a long haul.
    Now I guess I'll start tranferring my files over to the new laptop.
