Office Installation stuck at 2% (Office for Windows)

THANK YOU! You are the only one here with clear instructions. No idea why everyone kept calling it something else. Currently it’s at the 0% stage, ostensibly doing the background install as you said.

I have had the same problem, the installer stuck at 2% the entire night. I am providing a version of the fix that seems to work after hours of tinkering around.

1. Task Manager --> end all versions of Microsoft Installers Click to Run, etc.
2. open services.msc --> locate Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Service --> Stop.
3. Execute the installer again --> this will cause the status bar and the Windows installer banner to come up --> you will also notice the service has been started again ( as this was and should remain in automatic)
4. Hopefully you will zoom past 2 PC. and eventually complete.

Hope this helps

Same problem I am facing . Could you please solve this issue 

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.

Same problem I am facing . Could you please solve this issue

So I have now run into this issue about 50 times now.  Is there any chance Microsoft can get off their butts and create an install package that actually works properly.  I know it must be real hard with all the money you guys are soaking up for this overpriced office package but any chance you can fix something....... EVER!!!!
