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.

    I think part of the error is a partial installation of office in past(my case).

    I manually remove a Click-to-Run installation of Office and then restarted my PC and waited for a bit and the installation was back up again.

    This is a **** answer. There's no way to talk to an actual human being at Microsoft unless you are an admin.

    Thank you so much. I've installed MS Office many times, each time I always counter this problem. You answer gave me a hint to end a service in Task Manager, in my case it was "Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Service". I restarted it and the installing percentage skyrocketed. Thank you.
