Question

1st Solution

Hi all many people using windowns 8 have this problem 2 days ago when Office 365 upgrade to version 2005 13001.yyyy

After 1 period of time repair my error this is my solution very easy

Reason for this problem is that Window 8 doesn't support Apps version on store, cause Word cannot work and run error like  api-ms-win-core-version-l1-1-1.dll on windows 8(64bit)

The best way is that

1. Uninstall Office 365
2. Run Window Update to 8.1 free and you can find in App store on Window 8
3. Reinstall

Very easy not use SFC or anything else like install DLL from third party ...If you do this and effective, give me 1 like 

thanks

Hi Everyone,

Assuming you're like me and want to stick with Windows 8 for one reason or another, here's how to fix this in 5 minutes:

1. Open a Windows command prompt.

2. Type the following, then press Enter:

cd "\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ClickToRun"

3. You are now in the ClickToRun folder. Now type the following, then press Enter:

officec2rclient.exe /update user updatetoversion=16.0.12730.20352

4. This will launch the installer and will install the update (in this case a rollback). Wait for the update to completely finish. It will have a success message when done.

5. Now launch Outlook and immediately go to the File Menu > Office Account > Update Options, and completely disable all updates. This will prevent the auto-updates from running and causing the same problem again.

Please note that I tried rolling back to several versions, and you need to go back to the version above to fix this issue.

For reference it is this version:

Version 2004 (Build 12730.20352)

I hope this helps some other people. =)

Microsoft, please, fix this issue so people like me can have the updates we're paying for. We all know Windows 8 is old, but some of us cannot easily update to 8.1.

Hi Anh Tuấn Vũ,

Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the community, I'm glad to offer help.

According to your description, although you said that you have tried reinstalling Windows 4 time, you might have chosen to keep your files instead of completely reinstall.

Anyway, you can refer to @ Palcouk's suggestion to fix the system files and try to perform an online repair to check the outcome.

Besides, may I know if you did anything that might be related to it before you had this error?

Please feel free to let us know if there is any progress, I'll continue to help you.

Best Regards,

HI,

I am having exactly the same problem with Word. SFC did not solve the problem. Need advice.

Why re-install win when you have an Office error?

By all means run SFC
