    What is the specific error message?

    Have you tried repairing the installation? Note that you may need the original installation disc and a product key available.

    Configuration of Office 2013 often fails because of a previous failed install or because Windows Installer/Windows Update is busy.

    Try these steps in order:

    1. Restart the computer
      • A simple restart can clear a stuck configuration phase for Microsoft 365/Office 2013.
    2. Check if Windows Update is blocking the installer
      • Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete and open Task Manager.
      • Go to the Processes tab and look for Windows Update Standalone Installer (wusa.exe).
      • If it is running, wait for it to finish. If the Office setup is stuck at around 90% and Windows Update is still running, let Windows Update complete, then retry the Office configuration.
    3. Repair the existing Office installation
      • Open Control Panel → Programs and Features.
      • Select Microsoft Office Standard 2013.
      • Choose Change and then run a Repair (for Click-to-Run, use Online Repair to fully fix files).
      • After repair completes, try running Office again and let configuration finish.
    4. Completely uninstall and reinstall Office
      • If configuration still does not complete, fully remove Office, then reinstall.
      • Use the Office uninstall/easy fix tool as described in the error code 3-4 article to completely uninstall Office, then reinstall Office 2013 from the original source and run it once to let configuration complete.

    If a specific error code appears during configuration (for example 3-4 or 0-3), follow the corresponding repair/uninstall/reinstall guidance for that code.
