Office 365 Install Hangs
- Yeah, good to go ahead. It's a trial with a one-month subscription free. Office 365 is a very confusing name of bundled services - no more than providing a public-cloud-based document / data storage (to catch up with the iCloud from Apple, Dropbox, Box or other similar cloud storage), plus the synchronization functions to the very-thick full-suite clients (Windows-based Windows 7/8 PCs.

Office 365 Install Hangs Old Skype
I have a Windows 10 on my computer and recently acquired a copy of Office 2016 Professional through Hubby's work for a discount. However We have been trying for 3 days now to install it and it will not complete the installation. The most common problem being that it hangs at 90% and just sits there and won't progress any further even after being left over night.I have tried posting this problem on the Microsoft Community boards but they have been less than helpful in finding a solution. Of the things they have suggested, I tried them all but to no avail. The suggestions they gave that I have tried are as follows:
Office 365 Install Hangs
'Follow these steps and download Office 2016 again:
Office 365 Install Hangs At 51
- First, check the type of internet connection you are using (Wired or Wireless)?
- If you are using a wireless connection then you may try to hardwire the connection.
Try downloading Office 2016 now and check if you are able to install Office 2016 normally.
In case the above step still does not work then follow these steps.
- Stop the Print Spooler service from Services.msc.
- Disable the Anti-Virus/Security Software for a while, until you complete installing Office 2016.
Check if you are able to install Office 2016 now.'Nope didn't work, and my computer ishardwired. Next advice they gave was as follows and also didn't work:
'In Task Manager make sure there are no Office 2016 or Office tasks running. Then restart the computer and try installing Office 2016 again, making sure that there are no Office tasks are running in Task Manager prior to running the Office 2016 installation.
Check the above and let us know if it helps.'
Nope, still notta.
While it is hanging at 90% I have checked my task manager and all the columns (CPU, Memory, Disk, Network) were all sitting at 0.
Funny thing is Hubby was able to acquire a second copy via coworker and it installed completely fine without issue on our windows 7 laptop.
We do not have any other copies of Office or any office related program on this computer, nor has there ever been. We have uninstalled, rebooted and tried reinstalling several times all with the same result of getting stuck at 90% then going nowhere. We even tried the 32 bit version in hope that it would work because the 64 bit version wouldn't install, but 32 or 64, it's the same problem.
There was ONE time, and one time only, though, I couldn't tell you what, if anything, we did differently, that it got past 90% and came up with an error message saying some items couldn't be installed because of some reason (I failed to take note of it at the time and it hasn't recurred since) and gave me the option to retry installing those items (it didn't list what they were) or ignore. So I clicked retry, and after a several minutes of it trying again the same message popped up. I believe I tried retry three more times before finally clicking ignore and being told that if I ignored it that I may have to go into program and setting later to repair office because some feature may not work right.
At that point Office SEEMED to work...until I rebooted the computer. At that point I got a pop-up message (which I again failed to take note of) with an error saying I need to run the installer again because it didn't install or finish installing or something of that nature. So I ran the installer again. this time it hung at 1% and didn't move even after hours of letting it run.
So again I uninstalled everything rebooted and started fresh and am now back at the hanging at 90% thing. It's very frustrating. A brand new expensive product that is meant for windows 10 but can't be installed on it? I'm very perplexed.
Any thoughts on this or what I can try or do?
Hi MS Support!
I have downloaded Office 365 from my Microsoft account. When installing it, it is stuck at an orange pop up saying 'were getting a few things ready'
it has been like this for hours.
In addition,
1. My connection to internet is fast
2. I haven't install office product before on this laptop
3. I've been using uninstaller from this site https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Uninstall-Office-from-a-PC-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8.
4. My laptop is using windows 10 x64 bit, and i try install office 365 x64 bit and also x32 bit but still stuck.
5. I am using student license for office 365 from my university account.
UPDATE: The problem has been fixed and I have successfully installed office 365 proplus in my laptop. The solution that worked for me was an install Toolkit from this link. The toolkit is located at the bottom of the left pane
The tool will ask you for certain specs of the office product that you want and will generate an installer package either .exe or .msi Use that installer to install Microsoft office. I had selected .msi for the setup type and it worked for me absolutely fine ! without any problem !!
