Hi,

I'm a University of York student attempting to get my download of Office 365 to work. I followed the steps from here: http://www.microsoft.com/education/ww/StudentAdvantage/Pages/hed-install.aspx

I have repeatedly downloaded and the uninstalled it using the FixIt tool that I have been recommended to other people on the forums having similar issues.

However this has not worked. Several time the Installer has died when it tries to start up (though I still get a box in the bottom right of the screen telling me that Office is installing in the background) and I have only been able to Install it properly once. Each time, Office appears in my programmes but when I try to open any of them I get a pop up telling me that Microsoft Word (or any other programme I try and open) has stopped working and then it closes the programme. It is the same message that I got with the Installer when it stopped working.

I made a Microsoft account the one time the Installer worked properly, but when I looked at my account it, said that there were no products associated with that account. Even though at that point Office was installed on my laptop, it just wasn't working. I didn't use my university email for the account, could this be part of the issue?

I have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times now and it is the same each time.

Is the file corrupt? Why won't it work?
