1st Solution

Hi all many people using windowns 8 have this problem 2 days ago when Office 365 upgrade to version 2005 13001.yyyy

After 1 period of time repair my error this is my solution very easy

Reason for this problem is that Window 8 doesn't support Apps version on store, cause Word cannot work and run error like  api-ms-win-core-version-l1-1-1.dll on windows 8(64bit)

The best way is that

  1. Uninstall Office 365
  2. Run Window Update to 8.1 free and you can find in App store on Window 8
  3. Reinstall

Very easy not use SFC or anything else like install DLL from third party ...If you do this and effective, give me 1 like 

thanks

Hi Everyone,

Assuming you're like me and want to stick with Windows 8 for one reason or another, here's how to fix this in 5 minutes:

1. Open a Windows command prompt.

2. Type the following, then press Enter:

cd "\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun"

3. You are now in the ClickToRun folder. Now type the following, then press Enter:

officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.12730.20352

4. This will launch the installer and will install the update (in this case a rollback). Wait for the update to completely finish. It will have a success message when done.

5. Now launch Outlook and immediately go to the File Menu > Office Account > Update Options, and completely disable all updates. This will prevent the auto-updates from running and causing the same problem again.

Please note that I tried rolling back to several versions, and you need to go back to the version above to fix this issue.

For reference it is this version:

Version 2004 (Build 12730.20352)

I hope this helps some other people. =)

Microsoft, please, fix this issue so people like me can have the updates we're paying for. We all know Windows 8 is old, but some of us cannot easily update to 8.1.

    Looks like an Windows 8 issue with the upgrade of Office 365. I too have Windows 8 installed and have the same problem.
