How to Fix Microsoft Office Error Code 30174‑45

Blog Article

Microsoft Office Error Code 30174‑45 typically occurs when you are installing or updating Office 365, 2010, or 2013 on your Windows PC. This error often indicates that the installer was interrupted—possibly due to corruption in the cached installer files, interference from network configurations, or remnants of previous Office installations conflicting with the new setup.

You’ll notice symptoms such as the installation stalling, repeated repair prompts, or setup failing without clear explanation. Common causes include corrupt installer cache data, unstable internet connection, interference by antivirus or firewall software, and old Office leftovers causing conflicts.

To resolve this issue, start by disabling your firewall and antivirus temporarily, then clear the cached install files using the Office Deployment Tool or by deleting the “Office” folder located in %localappdata%. Next, unzip a fresh copy of the Office installer downloaded through your copyright before running the setup again—ideally using the offline installer to avoid reliance on the internet.

If that doesn’t work, uninstall any existing Office installation. On Windows 10/11, go to Settings → Apps, locate Microsoft Office, and select Uninstall. On earlier Windows versions, go to Control Panel → Programs and Features, select Office, and click Uninstall. After removal, clear remaining Office folders from C:Program FilesMicrosoft Office, C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Office, and %localappdata%MicrosoftOffice. Then, run sfc /scannow in an elevated Command Prompt to repair system files, restart your PC, and try installing again with a fresh setup.
