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.

    Why should we have to remove Office to fix a Microsoft problem.  If you have created a problem with an upgrade, this is unacceptable customer service.
