Hi Jaswinder,

Thank you for sharing your question. I understand how annoying it is when you're trying to move Office to a new computer and hit Error Code: 30033-44 during setup. Let's sort this out together!

Usually, this error pops up when there's a problem with old Office stuff or something's messing with the install. This can be from bits of older Office installs (even different versions), your antivirus or firewall blocking things, a shaky internet connection, or messed-up system files.

here’s what you can do, based on my knowledge

First, get rid of old installs

Make sure any old Office versions are totally gone. Use the Control Panel or Settings > Apps, and also manually delete any Office folders from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office.

Restart your computer

Just restarting can sometimes fix it by clearing up file issues.

Turn off antivirus or firewall for a bit

Sometimes security software blocks parts of the Office install by mistake. Turn off your antivirus temporarily, and then try installing again. Remember to turn it back on later!

Install Office using the offline installer

Download the offline installer from your Microsoft account. Then run it to install without needing a constant internet link.

I hope this helps.

 

Best Regards,

Noel
