It gets to 10% into the install, and says Error 1920. Service 'Windows Font Cache Service' (FontCache) failed to start So, following other's advice, I go into system32, delete the FontCache dat file, as well as the Local Service App Data dat files, restarted, nothing. The entire time, FontCache is set to Automatic startup, and when trying to start it, it returns that it's stopped itself, so it never stays running. I've reduced running services, messed with the Font Cache 3.0.0.0 service as well, but no matter what, the service won't start, nothing useful in the event logs, it just won't install any of Office 2013. I have nothing else to try, anyone else have a possible solution? Windows 7 - SP1 - 32-bit All PCs built from the same sysyprepped image, but not all have this issue.
