Hello.

I did ha ve that error then I made some research and found that file and some others to be only symbolic links :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16>dir appv*

 Le volume dans le lecteur C s’appelle SATA0_SYSTEME

 Le numéro de série du volume est 0041-DD0B

 Répertoire de C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16

Those too :

22/06/2016  23:01    <SYMLINK>      C2R64.dll [C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\ClickToRun\C2R64.dll]

The fact is the targets do not exist anymore.

I had to make a search on a backup to find them back and restore...

That was not sufficient : I had to make Word my default program back, and it started with the fresh install wizard...

It finally worked, faster than a full reinstallation, but quite annoying.

How is it that those important files do end on a temporary folder like clicktorun, and more, in that folder on windows.old !

Is that happening as I am an Insider ?

That is getting me quite angry...
