Office 2013 install fails with error 1935 on Windows 10 1803

Question

Thursday, September 6, 2018 4:28 PM

Deploying Office 2013 SP1 to Windows 10 1803 on a new pc fails with error 1935.  I've also tried installing by just running setup.  

Brand new batch of Dell Optiplex 3060's.

Windows 10 1803.  Updated today.  Dell OEM version.

This has worked on 90 previous pc's.  Most of which were Optiplex 3040 and 3050.

The Office trial stuff was on there and I removed it first.

The event log shows "Failed to end a Windows Installer transaction STANDARD.  error 1603 occurred while ending the transaction."

The ultimate fix is to rename or delete HKLM\software\microsoft\AppModel

This works every time.  Deleting it hasn't had any negative effects so far.

Update:

The first thing I do on a new pc is remove all the bloatware.  Like "My Office", "Candy Crush Saga","Microsoft Office Desktop Apps", etc...

Resetting the pc, which returned all the bloatware, including My Office and Microsoft Office Desktop Apps, allowed the install to finish.

I have experienced the same. In the past, and with very similar PCs (HP 15.6" laptops) I have had to remove the "trial" edition of the current offering of Office. On the first occasion, I did not realise a trial of Office had been pre-installed, and when I tried to install my own licensed copy (an older edition), some clash occurred and caused me a heap of issues and a support call with Microsoft late into the night.

With a brand new HP laptop running Windows 10, I did my best to remove the Office 365 trial installation, together with a new thing called Office Hub. It was odd this time, because the "Uninstall or change a program" list, found in Control Panel, did not list any Office applications. But they were there in the Start Menu. I uninstalled them using their own "Right-click sand Uninstall" feature and then tried to install my own Office 2013. This resulted in the error code under discussion.

I too have performed a reset - I tried different "levels" of reset. Eventually I had to do what appears to have been a factory reset, which re-installed Windows 10 and blitzed all the user setup. I ran through all that again and left the pre-installed Office icons where they were. Then I re-installed Office 20123 and this time the installation completed. Previously, it got so far, then rolled back complaining of a failure and then displayed the weird error "1935".

I have not used the Office suite yet, so maybe it is still hosed. But I wanted to share my common experience.

The crazy thing is that the rules have changed without any notification. On previous machines, not uninstalling the trial software caused problems with my Office 2013 installation. Now, removing the pre-installed gear causes a problem.

Thanks, Microsoft - you totally rock at wasting users' time.

Dear MS, please pay Darron the money you normally give the forum moderators! He actually provided an answer that works instead of just copy/pasting a generic FAQ

Such a pleasure to see a brief and accurate explanation that actually works! My hat is off to you sir!

It works for me too.

Hello,

I ran into this issue today and am ready to try your fix as it seems like what others agree works.  I have such a dumb question and I'm sorry I'm not as tech savvy.  Where is file you mention located (HKLM\software\microsoft\AppModel)?  Is that in the Office installer or somewhere already on the C drive?  I'm sure I can find it, just looking for a general path.


Monday, August 26, 2019 12:48 AM

That's a registry path.  HKLM is HKey_Local_Machine
