    So I've uninstalled the Office Compatibility pack and ran ALL Office removal Fix-Its from Office 2003 through 2010 and then it was finally possible to install Office 2010.

    Hello guys,

    for me none of the proposed solutions worked.

    Tried Office 2010* / 2013 cleaner  *was installed before

    hacked the registry

    deleted and renamed all folders

    checked the task planner, which was running.

    Anyway the Office boot strapper worked until I have chosen the products from the list and click install, then Bootstrapper crashed.

    When I ran setup.exe from the subdirectories on the Office installation disc (x86 / x64) then I got prompted to uninstall Office Compatibility pack 2007. Still bootstrapper is crashing.

    You guys are idiots if you think the average Joe can do all this. Windows 10 is an epic fail and may doom Microsoft to oblivion.

    I've pent the better part of a week trying to get it to restore productivity to my office....and I actually know what I'm doing. This company has progressively gotten worse since XP.

    I can intrepidly say, "Success!" (Almost). Wait, wait, wait...! Except on Office 360 and Onenote which won't install! IDIOTS!!! You would think of all integration's that these would be the most successful.

    NOPE! Too much MJ in Redmond these days.
