    Office 2013? Really? You're not ready to upgrade to 2016, or 365? Give 2013 back to it's mother, and get a better brand.

    Just sayin'.....

    Looking through all of the replies, I'm not sure that anybody has posted the solution that worked for me.

    When I learned that it was potentially a problem with Windows Task Scheduler. Task Scheduler was already running, so that wasn't the problem. I opened Task Scheduler and navigated to the folder "Task Scheduler Library>Microsoft" and deleted the "Office" folder located there. I immediately tried installing Office again and it worked perfectly.

    Thanks for your post, I've been Googling for 2 weeks now and couldn't find a solution. Yours did, and I don't know why I didn't think of that before .
