When I try to install or uninstall Office 365, i always get the message "there went somewthing wrong" with error code 30015-45 (193).

After closing the fist error-popup a second popup shows up with error code 0-2031-(17002).

There already is a question with the same topic. But i don't know how to get to the file that is mentioned in the answer.

Can someone help me?

Hi Paul

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.  

Understanding the Error Codes 

Error 30015-45 (193) typically occurs due to: 

  • Incomplete or corrupted previous Office installations. 
  • Conflicts with antivirus or firewall software. 
  • Missing system files or insufficient permissions. 

Error 0-2031-(17002) often appears when: 

  • Another Office installation is already in progress. 
  • Network issues or system resource limitations interfere with the setup. 

To help me understand your situation better, could you please tell me: 

  • Is your Office account a personal account or a work/school account
  • Did you initially follow option 2 in this Uninstall Microsoft 365 from a PC - Microsoft Support   to uninstall? 
  • Have you already tried uninstalling Office using the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA) tool

Microsoft recommends using this tool for a complete and clean uninstallation of Office, as simply uninstalling from the Control Panel might leave behind residual files that cause issues. 

You can find more information and download the tool here:  Video: Uninstall Office - Microsoft Support 

If you haven't run it before, please help me run this SaRA tool and follow its prompts to clean up any previous Office installations. This is often the most effective first step.  

You also asked about a specific file mentioned in another forum post, wondering if it's an ISO file. Error Code: 30015-45(193) during Microsoft365 installation - Microsoft Q&A 

It's likely referring to an ISO file in the context of a clean installation. 

However, please note that if the link provided in that post (like https://account.microsoft.com/services) leads to a login.live screen, that ISO method is typically for personal accounts. If you have a work account, you won't be able to sign in using that path. 

So please help me try uninstalling Office thoroughly using the SaRA tool. After it completes, restart your computer, and then try reinstalling Office 365. 

If you still encounter the same error after using the SaRA tool and attempting a fresh installation, please let me know, and send me a screenshot of the error message. That will give me more clues to guide you to the next step. 

Please understand that our initial response may not always resolve the issue right away. But with your help and a bit more detail, I'll try my best to help you.  

Looking forward to your reply!

    Hi Jeanie,

    Thanks for your help.

    My account is an work/school account.

    I could not run option 2 in Uninstall Microsoft 365 from a PC - Microsoft Support , because you need to login but i guess the login works only with an personal account. Message: "The account does not exist"

    I installed SaRA and tried to click throught the options "Microsoft 365 troubleshooters" and then "Microsoft 365 uninstall troubleshooters".
    When I click the "Start" button nothing happend (no popup)
    Somehow SaRA was still working in the background.

    I tried to run the "Office Setup" again and it worked.
