I am unable to install Office since the Ventura update. Any idea's?

Since updating to Ventura, I have been unable to install any Microsoft Office application(s). Does anyone have a solution?

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and try to install from there. Then r\Reboot normally.


NOTE 1: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


NOTE 2: if you have a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries connect it with its charging cable before booting into Safe Mode. This makes it act as a wired keyboard as will insure a successful boot into Safe Mode.
