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.

    Microsoft office was working fine.  Then I was prompted within outlook, within ribbon, to update by click button.   I got the message something went wrong.  Now none of my Office products work.  Usually Microsoft updates are painless.  Now I am suppose to unload and reload the entire suite.   Users should have been given more information about the update.  This is a major pain.

    If I m just renewing, it does not make sense to uninstall and re-install
