The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000142). Click ok to close the application - Ms Office 365

 


Some time last week my colleague laptop had this error while trying to run or open Microsoft office 365 applications (Word, Excel, Outlook)

I carried out below steps to resolve the problem.

1. Go to control panel to uninstall existing office 365 application.

2. Restart the Windows after a successful uninstallation

3. Reinstall Microsoft Office 365 from installation media or download setup.

Alternatively online repair would have suffice but I recommend clean installation
see suggestion below
