When installing Microsoft Office, you get the error 25004 and the install does not complete.

Solution

Download and install the Windows Install Cleaner.
Once installed, run the program from the Start Menu.
Remove all the entries related to Microsoft Office and close the program.

    HI. I had this exact same problem. Mine was to do with the KMS activation failing after I mistakenly installed a O365 Small Business on a server and later realised I would need a VL install for terminal services RDP sessions. No matter what I did or what registry entries I deleted it didn't work.
    One persons suggested (This worked for them, but would not work for me)
    • Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared
    • If there is a folder called OFFICE15 or OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform delete that folder.
    • Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared
    • Same as above, If there is a folder called OFFICE15 or OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform delete that folder.

    So after hours of messing about, I figured out a work around. This will only help you if you can use a MAK key.
    1) uninstall any versions of office 2010 or 2013 you may have installed. OBVIOUSLY :)
    2) run the office 15 Click-To-Run remove tool. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501/en-gb
    3) Reboot if required
    4) Copy your office CD to your HDD (you need to add some install instructions)
    5) Launch and admin command prompt and navigate to where you copied your cd files. Then run your office setup with the command - setup.exe /admin (example c:\2013>setup.exe /admin)
    6) This will launch the office customization tool
    7) Go to Licencing and user interface - select enter product key - load in your MAK key with no spaces (it will insert dashes) - accept the licence agreement
    8) file - save - and name the file (eg. 2013.msp) and save it to the updates folder within you office install. (eg c:\2013\updates\2013.msp)
    9) exit the tool and command and run setup.exe as per normal. (you may need to run as admin if required)
    This worked for me and I hope it solves your issues too.

Problem:  Setup cannot find office.en-us\dwtrig20.exe during office installation Solution: Method 1 : a) Uninstall skype form control panel. b) After installing office, re-install skype. Method 2: a) Browse disk by right clicking on it with mouse. b) Double click on setup.exe file from the same location. Method 3: Note: Take backup of your registry before modifying it.  For registry backup: open "run" >> type "regedit" >> goto "file" >> click on "export" on desktop. a) Edit the registry. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > OFFICE Delete the keys (items) you find in the OFFICE folder but not the sub-folders. This removes traces of previous installs to avoid possible conflicts when installing the new version of Office. b)HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > OFFICE > DELIVERY > SOURCEENGINE > DOWNLOADS Delete the keys (items) you find here.

How to Change the iTunes Backup Location on Windows 10

By
Steps to follow: Step 1:  Create a folder for your new backup location. While this step shows a folder labeled  New iTunes Backup  created within the root of partition  D , you can practically create it at any location you want. However, do remember to modify the file path as appropriate when creating the symbolic link later. Step 2:  Press  Windows-R  to open the Run box. If you are using the desktop version of iTunes, type the following into the search box: %APPDATA%\Apple Computer\MobileSync If you are using the Windows Store version of iTunes, type the following instead, but make sure to replace  C with the correct drive letter of your primary Windows 10 partition, and  [USERNAME]  with your Windows username: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Apple\MobileSync Once you're done, click OK. Step 3:  A File Explorer window should now open the iTunes  MobileSync  directory automatically, and you should see a folder ...
