How to Uninstall Office 15 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component

Yay, another IT tutorial :)

Just like the title says, it's a tutorial about how to uninstall Office 15 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component. You may encounter this problem while installing/re-installing Microsoft Office when you had already installed another version of Microsoft Office before.


The pop-up error message.

You will not find this component on Add/Remove Programs on Control Panel. Yet how to solve this error is very simple:

1. Open Registry Editor
    Windows 8.1 or above: Click Start --> type 'regedit' and enter.
    Windows 7 or Vista: Click Start --> in the search box, type 'regedit' and enter.
    Windows XP: Click Start --> click Run --> in the Run window, type 'regedit' and enter.


2. After Registry Editor opened, go to: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products

3. In Products folder, you will find many folders. Folders we'll need begin with 00005 on its name (see image below).


4. Find and delete all folders which contain Office 15 Click-to-Run Extensibility Component on ProductName.


5. After deleting all required folders, launch the Microsoft Office installer again and voila! let the installation begins.



That's all. Quite simple right?

Btw, I am using Windows 8.1 and haven't try it on another OS yet. But I expect it will work also.

Hope it helps and please let me know if something need to be updated on this tutorial.

Thanks and have a good day.

  2. This really helped. Thx very much. A minor contribution however. I got the same error message while trying to insall the english language pack after installing the 64 bit microsoft office 2013. I could still not proceed, however, after deleting as described here all three registry entries with "office 15 extension" while getting a different error message. Out of desperation (and based on my general Windows experience), I tried again by deleting just the first of the registry entries and it worked. Sorry to say that Microsoft but I again appreciated OS X and remembered why I was happy not to have opened my Windows PC for the last four months.

  15. Thanks this did the trick. I would recommend that you add the step to export (right click folder, export, before delete) the values first for backup purposes. this way if you need the value it can easy be placed back with a click. :o)

    Thanks Again!

  60. Not a computer whiz, I am just trying to follow instructions so I can install Office 16 64 bit. I am getting the message about Office 16 Click-to-Run Extensibility. I have followed the steps but I see two files under the product file that say Office 16 Click-toRun Localization Component and Office 16 Click-to-Run Licensing Component. Should they be deleted, also?

    1. Hi.. Sorry for the late response. Office 16 Click-to-Run Ext is supposed to be exist in case you install 64 bit version. So I think it should be deleted.

  72. Excellence has been defined as the quality of being so unusually good as to surpass ordinary standards. It is such a valuable and captivating attribute that it usually commands our respect and emulation. Most of us like to see ourselves as seekers for excellence in our various callings. But what should be the hallmark of a true Seeker? What are the other levels of excellence to which we may graduate? What synchronicities may occur in our outward life as we are transformed inwardly? Answering these questions help us to make efficient progress in our quest. word translator
