For the error "Office can't do that right now because your product is busy with another task" error when installing Office 2013 or Office 365" see:

See "General troubleshooting for installing Office 2013 and Office 365" at:

See ""Something went wrong" error when you install Office 2013 or Office 365" at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2827031/en-us

and, if necessary http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2822317

If that does not help, then you might remove all traces of the Office  installation by running the fixit from the following article:

and then reinstall Office by logging into www.office.com/myaccount with your registered email address and click Install Office.
