Hi Guang...ive already tried all the step you gave to me a couple of times...but it still showing this error
ERROR CODE: 0xC004F074
the result is still the same..ive also looked up what the error code means :
0xC004F074 error messages often appear as a result of cluttered Windows registry or faulty entries of non-existent programs which are usually due to improper software uninstalls. Other common reasons may include incorrect user input, missing files that were accidentally deleted from the registry and cause system malfunctions. Keeping track of when and where your error has occured is a critical piece of information for troubleshooting the problem.
and i need this tool to fix the problem before i can run your cmd again. errorkit-ver_de71e795-err_41565
can you help me find the tool??

GuangP

Hakim Please send me the screenshot or copy all the text you see after following the instructiosn in post #1.

The first link in your post 1 doesnt work, the second run but office is not activated. I paste below the console.
I also tried to follow your video instruction but access to bit.ly/office2016text is not working, it address you to google main page.
Many thanks in advance!
