Microsoft Office installation hangs - this remedies the situation

Microsoft Office offers a large number of functions and services. But it often happens that the installation of Microsoft Office stops. You then have the option of waiting and hoping, or you can actively tackle the problem yourself.

What to do if Microsoft Office installation hangs?

When you install Microsoft Office, it often happens that the installation hangs. In such a case, you have the following options:

1. If the installation hangs at 90 percent, it may be because the Microsoft Updater installs other software that is required by Microsoft Office. Office is then stuck in the queue.
2. In this case, it is worth simply waiting a little. The installer should continue after a few minutes.
3. If the installation does not continue even after some time, open the task manager and cancel the installation. To do this, exit the "wusa.exe".
4. Start the installation again and test whether the process works this time. If it doesn't, install all Windows updates by typing "Update" in the bottom left of the search bar and then pressing "Check for updates".

Your antivirus software may also prevent installation. Fügen Sie auf jeden Fall eine Ausnahme in Ihrer Antiviren-Software für das Installationsprogramm hinzu und gehen Sie sicher, dass Sie es als Administrator ausführen.
