Summary for the thread: is seeing system-wide download/install failures and document open errors; suggested reinstalling Office, but that will likely fail while the underlying Windows problem remains. The symptoms point to OS-level corruption (disk, temp/permissions, services or malware) rather than a single bad Office installer.

Practical, priority checklist to try before reinstalling Office:

  • Verify free disk space and run a full disk check (schedule on reboot if required).

  • Empty Windows and user TEMP folders and ensure Administrators and SYSTEM have full control on those folders.

  • Confirm RPC and Windows Installer services are started and set to Automatic (check Services.msc). If Installer seems broken, re-register it:

    msiexec /unregister
msiexec /regserver

  • Run the system file checker to repair corrupted system DLLs (you will likely need the Windows CD):

    sfc /scannow

  • Scan for malware from a clean, updated scanner (preferably bootable rescue media) and temporarily disable third-party AV/firewall while testing installs.

  • Try the operation from Safe Mode with Networking, or create a fresh local Administrator account and test there (rules out profile corruption).

  • If installers still abort, check Event Viewer Application/System logs for specific errors and note timestamps—those messages will direct the next step.

If these steps don’t help, a Windows repair install or clean reinstall may be the pragmatic fix after backing up data. Reinstalling Office first is unlikely to succeed while core services or file-system problems persist. Provide any Event Viewer text and which steps were tried so replies can be targeted.
