I was trying to install Microsoft Office 365 & Home & Student on My Customer's Computer and Most of the times Installation will stuck on 2%. I did not find any Solution in this Forum nor anywhere else so i fixed this issue by following Method ?

Once the installation is stuck on 2%, I open Task manager and went to Details and End the office oneclick Processes. Once Processes ends i started the Installation and Walaaa it worked and office starting the Installation and did not stuck anymore. 

Note:If it did not help anyone, You may need to End Process the Service again and it will 100% work.

I am not a Microsoft Technician i am just a User.

    Thanks for updating us with the status of your concern. Since it already worked on your end at the time that you’ve stopped the Oneclick process, we’d recommend that you monitor and observe its behavior. Just in case that you’ll encounter the same issue, you may contact directly our Microsoft Support team for further recommendations. You may use the same **link**I’ve provided in my previous response. Should you have other queries, don’t hesitate to let us know.

    Regards.

    Hi Aaqibkhan979,
