Prior to finding the cause of the problem I used the Office offline repair feature.

was my worst fear.Īlthough late in the scheme of things, I tracked the problem down to two Outlook Yahoo mail account settings that for some unknown reason had incorrect login passwords causing the send /receive function to fail without any warning or reason for the failure other than the standard Outlook Send/Receive error, ‘send failed, mail system server rejected your log-in’ or words to that effect. Ī new day and newly refreshed brain engaged I remotivated myself get on and to tackle the issue, the thought of having to do a clean-install of Microsoft Office 2016 and having to reinstall all the email accounts, settings etc. Thank you all for your input, suggestions and recommendations on possible ways to fix things a little bit of each of your suggestions got me back in the frame, so many thanks for that and taking the time to offer assistance.įollowing the helpful reponses from the three fellow Loungers. The Office apps Word, Powerpoint, etc) no longer show in the Start Menu and Word docs no longer have their familiar Word logo.Īre there any Office ‘wizards’ out there that can recommend a safe solution to restoring Office without losing the files and folders and all the associated email settings in Outlook? PST file is 4.2GB so there a lot of work and personal stuff that I can’t afford to lose. If I uninstall Office and use the Office Scrub app/tool and then reinstall office from the product DVD will it wipe out all my Outlook email addresses, emails, email settings and. Office 2016 still shows in the Programs and Features list. I tried using the Office product installation DVD but that failed at 94% completion with error code 30102-11 (1603).

On the third retry same problem new error code 0-2031 (17002) and same message. The process started and got to 80% completion and stopped with an error code 30102-13 (1603), so I clicked on retry and got another error code 30015-13 (255) plus a message ‘If another install is running wait for it to finish and try later’. I tried all the usual stuff and nothing worked, so went to Programs and Features in Control Panel right clicked on Microsoft Office 2016 Pro Plus and selected ‘Repair’. My Office 2016 Outlook was acting up and kept failing on Send/Receive.
