Microsoft 365 and Office | Install, redeem, activate | For home | Windows
Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.
The information here, made it work for me:
Office is installing in the background (84%) stuck there.

While I trying to install Office 2013, the process of the background installation seem like pausing at 84% and not moving.

2013-05-24T23:15:48+00:00 I was running Windows 8, and finally did a Refresh and re-install of Office 2013. My Office 2013 install problems went away, and were replaced with other problems (like having to fix SyncToy and acknowledging I really didn't need some of the other apps I had installed).
If you are running Windows 8, doing a refresh may fix this. But, you may lose some of your other apps. It's worth it to consider.

2013-02-12T10:19:26+00:00 Same here - couldn't resolve the problem so far (tried the usual: removed Antivirus software, cleaned all old Office components, uninstalled printer drivers, etc.). The MS tech-specialist I talked to on the phone couldn't help either. I sent him an errorlog but haven't heard back from him since.
I can, however, install the technet "Professional Plus" testversion of Office 2013 without any trouble. Unfortunately that doesn't help because it won't except my product key.
