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.

    It was really disappointing to read the suggested remedy here.  currently I cannot use any office program, and I anticipate that many folks got this error message (as I did) while trying to accept latest update of office.  The steps you outline above to correct the issue will take a couple of hours of just unavailable time.

    Is there anything short of a full uninstall/reinstall that can be done to mitigate?
