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.

Believe me i have tried everything to fix this issue, I am one of the victim. The only thing which workes for me is the above answer. You can restart the machine and try again. Hopefully it will work, The above method i used on atleat 100 Machines and it eventually worked for me. GOOD LUCK.
Restart just like that? without ending any process of the installation?
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.
