    I highly recommend to try some solution without that System Ninja!

    There is a fix from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en

    After applying that fix, I did not get any Office 15 click-to-Run" Extensibility Component errors any more.

    For those of you that cant uninstall Office 15 Click-to-Run Licensing Component

    do following, that worked for me :

    1. do start --> Run (or Winkey + R)
    2. type "installer" (that opens the %windir%\installer folder), make sure all files are visible in Windows (Folder Settings)
    3. add the column "Subject" (and make it at least 400 pixels wide)
    4. sort on the Subject column and scroll down until you locate the name mentioned in your error screen ("Office 15 Click-to-Run Licensing Component")
    5. right click the MSI and choose uninstall
    6. Done  :-) (could be that you need to reboot, but normally not necessary)

    Apparently is a problem with the system registry.

    All you need to do is run the CCleaner, and it'll take care of the problems.

    It worked for me.
