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.

    Is there any chance that Microsoft will be fixing this problem any time soon?  I have gone through all of the suggested fixes and none of them work.  This is irritating to say the least.

    Download Microsoft’s SARA Support and Recovery Assistant.

    Choose trouble installing Office. 

    Patience. Many delays between messages requiring andwers.

    SARA ran diagnostics

    Required a reboot

    Loaded Office

    Worked for me! Good luck.
