a cry of rage and frustration
Mar. 8th, 2014 10:20 pmDear Internet,
I downloaded Office 2013, which makes a big fucking deal of how it's always available on all devices and yay OneDrive and what the fuck, I don't care, just give me MS Word ON MY OWN COMPUTER, YOU ASSHOLE PROGRAMMERS!
By which I mean, I have downloaded this thing TWICE and I cannot find hide nor hair of MS Word on my computer, no matter what search terms I use.
Which would seem to defeat the purpose of purchasing and downloading a program suite that explicitly claims to contain MS Word.
So. Anybody out there have any tips for FINDING Word and then for CREATING A GODDAMN DESKTOP ICON SO I DON'T LOSE IT AGAIN?!?!?!
Fucking Microsoft.
And their chat client is continually busy. I have refreshed it three times now and it keeps timing out and telling me to try again later.
Assholes.

You have a new PC with no previous versions, but it could be a mangled download or possible mangled registry settings. Probably not a bad idea to try running the Fixit mentioned to remove leftover Office install cruft prior to trying to reinstall again.
From this point, you've done everything reasonably practical to solve it yourself, so Best Buy would be your next step.
