Office Home and Business 2013 is now blank under "file size" in Programs and Features following the June 11 Microsoft update.  How do I recover it?

    Just for giggles I remote desktoped into the one in California with this issue. It shows Office 2013 Pro en-us version 15.0.4615.1002. Quick repair fails "Something went wrong" with error code 2147483634-8. Online repair never gets past step 1 of 4 and fails with error code 0-4.

    They're on a super-slow connection so I can't do much at the moment. I might try to reconnect later and do the reinstall and let it run over the weekend (yes it's that slow so I don't want to impact the other users at that location) but maybe that info will help someone find an explanation/cause/fix.

    I didn't uninstall Office either. It did it on its own. It just disappeared. That is why I got FixIt. I just ran it to make sure I got it as clean as possible.. Then I reinstalled. I had no choice. When the program uninstalls itself you are kind of out of options, you know?

    So do we have any shot at Microsoft pushing an update to fix this problem or are we completely on our own.  I am far from an IT expert and I really don't know how to get this fixed.  I am sure there are many others in this same situation. Microsoft are you watching this?

    I did something similar and it all works for me. 

    Was getting the "Something went wrong" message, which brought me to this thread. Tried to Repair Office, no response (presumably because clicktorun is hosed). So I rolled back the 11th June updates. At this point Office 2013 was at 15.0.4623.1003 I'm guessing it had updated prior to Windows Update. Installed the Windows Updates again (one by one, I wanted to see which was the offender) Reboot and tested Office each time. Updates installed on Win 7 Pro 64bit (32bit Office 2013 + Office 2007 Access Runtime) as follows and in order:

    KB2957689 - IE10

    KB2939576 - Win 7

    KB2957189 - Win 7

    KB2957503 - Win 7

    KB2957509 - Win 7

    KB2965788 - Win 7

    KB2800095 - Win 7

    KB2952664 - Win 7

    KB890830 - MSRT June

    KB2878233 - Office 2007

    KB2881069 - Office 2007

    At no point did I uninstall Office or run the Fix It suggested by the Microsoft chatbot in this thread.

    Well, I was going to post a list of all the new files that the June Office Update put on the computer June 10-11th but when I went to get them, there are so many sections to the updates it put on and so many files in each update, that even if I copy and paste them all it will take way too long. So, if you want to examine it, just go to the Update button in an Office program and choose to View Updates and then click on each one and find the section on How Do I Know if the Update Installed? and you will get a page that has a list of the files it changed and/or put on your computer with that update. Sorry, but it would take me too much time and i dont' have  enough time to do it. But you can see them for yourself and it also tells you how to undo any Office update that you want to get rid of.
