Hello,
With my new AZUS laptop (Win 10 64 bit)
When trying to install "Office", I receive an "error 1704, the installation of Visual C++ 2008 redistributable - X-' 9.0.30729.6161 is currently interrupted. You must annul the changes made to this installation to continue
Do you want to cancel the changes"

I clicked yes a hundred times... I thought it was progressing, but in fact, nothing! So I clicked no, and everything stopped!

I have done this three times, but still the same error 1704
NB: I have downloaded the exe file from the official Office site as recommended on comment ça marche!

Can you help me, thanks!!!
Dominique

    Errors of this kind occur because a program was improperly installed. Start by completely uninstalling previous versions of Office using Microsoft's fixit:

    Why pirate MS-Office when there is a free solution?
    Use OpenOffice

      Thank you for this response, but Microsoft is offering me paid installation options for Office. I want to install a free suite like LibreOffice or OpenOffice.
      Thank you again.
