Office updates. Get information about features, security updates, and non-security updates for Office products, including Office 365 ProPlus, Office for Mac, Office Server products, and perpetual versions of Office. Oct 07, 2015 Microsoft has released the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update. In addition to the application improvements that are mentioned in this article, Office for Mac 2011 is now available as a subscription offering.
You're trying to install Office 365, Office 2016, or Office 2013 and the installation becomes unresponsive (hangs or freezes) at approximately the 90% mark of completion. This problem can occur if Windows Installer is busy.
If Windows Update is using Windows Installer, the Office installation has to wait until the update process has finished with the Windows Installer. Also, if Windows Installer itself is hanging, Office won't be able to get past the 90% mark. How you can proceed depends on whether you've already cancelled the Office install, in this case you'll need to try installing Office again; or Office is still trying to install, you'll need to end the Windows Update. Select from below.
If the steps below don't work, see Office is taking long to install for other solutions.
If you've already cancelled Office install, try installing Office again
If you've cancelled the Office install, you'll need to re-try the install, but before you do that check if Windows Update has completed.
Press ctrl+alt+delete on the keyboard, and select Task Manager (or Start Task Manager on Windows 7).
Select the Processes tab, and look for the Windows Update Standalone Installer (wusa.exe). If it's not displayed in the list, the update has completed.
For reinstall instructions, see Install Office on your PC or Mac.
If you haven't quit the installation, use Task Manager to end the Windows Update process.
If Office is still installing, end the Windows Update
You could wait for Windows Update to complete, but could run into further delays. It's more reliable to just end the Windows Update process in Task Manager so Windows Installer can proceed and be used for the Office installation. Do the following procedure to end the Windows Update process.
Note: Disabling Windows Update could affect the installation of a valid Windows update. If you restart your computer after the Office installation, the Windows Update process should continue. See Step 5 below if it doesn't.

Select End task (or End Process on Windows 7). The Office installation should now resume and complete.
After the installation has completed, Restart your computer to let the Windows Update process restart as needed. You may have to manually restart Windows Update by selecting your Windows version here.
