Hi Naman,

If you receive this error:

Something went wrong. Sorry, we ran into a problem. Go online for additional help. Error Code 30088-4

Use this article to remove Office and then try installing it again.

    Dear barbara,

          I feel terribly sorry that I can't help you with the solution of your problems.  I don't know what your help service conditions are from Microsoft in your country.  Fortunately enough here in Japan, there is a telephone help service from Microsoft everyday, except for Sundays and national holidays.   I contacted them at the dial number:  Japan 0120-00-8449 yesterday morning.  I waited almost two hours, having a telephonce receiver, till a technical professional was on the phone.  To my great joy, he solved my problem within 30 minutes, controling my compurter from his own.

    Sincerely,

    Hiroyuki Izawa
