Some of problem of this is the complication of the OS used. If the problem is always the same try to reformat PC that
you MS Office is applicable to your OS version . . Maybe some of the data are not complete that can cause that error. .
Or try to find other MS Office installer that is compatible with your OS used . .
thank you,
