Hi all,

Here is the workaround that helped us get through this issue.

Do not use IE to try running the FixIT as towards the end of FixIT step, it expects IE, Windows Explorer or any other Windows Open Application to be closed.

Use other browsers, like Mozilla or Google Chrome and allow it to run through including the fix solution towards the end.

Ensure all MS office components are uninstalled in the Control Panel -> Programs list

Then initiate the install exe that gets downloaded if you are doing the install from the web.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
