Hello Jack Casper,

Microsoft Office 2010 software failed to start or initiate the software is caused by missing components installed.

2 ways to install and fix this problem;

There are 2 ways to fix and install the components.

• Run the dtSearch Desktop setup program.
• Download and run the program from Microsoft, vcredist_86.exe that will ensure missing components will be covered.

I have here the website that will help fix this problem by simply updating or install the missing components.

Another steps to follow;

1. Resolution.
2. Re-installing of the C++ runtime environment should fix the issue.
3. Download the Visual C++ redistributable files from below link: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package
4. Once installed, this should take care of the problem and let you open the office application.

Hi there,

• The only thing to solute some of your problem is to REINSTALL it again.
• This problem for instance are a sign of a corrupted file.
• This can usually occur if the installation does not properly execute it proper installation.
• And Sometimes, this error exist because of installing an all driver together.
• You must REINSTALL it again without any files open and unplug the local internet to prevent updating the office installed.
• Just follow the steps carefully and prevent checking or unchecking while installation is running.

I hope this helps.
