I am also having problem in installing mircosoft office on pc, actually I uninstalled it for a certain reason, I downloaded another Office 2013 Professional Plus , when I try to install it, during the installation, I get a message saying “Office has encountered an error during setup” , I tried many solutions I could find on the internet like deleting registry keys and so on, but the problem wasn’t resolved.
