When I logged on to my Windows 8 machine I received a prompt asking me to install an update for Office. I allowed it to run but now Office is totally broken:
- I cannot run any office programs: I just get an error message when I try
- I cannot uninstall or reinstall Office: I just get an error messge when I try. I was able to deactivate it from the Office "My Account" page but that made no difference in the uninstall/reinstall attempts.
So ... does anyone have any advice? I'm not hesitant to blow away the whole Windows 8 VM and start all over - heck, it might be faster, but obviously that should not be the normal recovery process.
