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.

    See the Article “Why can’t I start my Office 2013 application at:

    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/why-cant-i-start-my-office-2013-application-HA104011864.aspx

    If that does not help, then you might remove all traces of the Office installation by running the fixit from the following article:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501

    and then reinstall Office by logging into www.office.com/myaccountwith your registered email address and click Install Office.
