Solution

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  1. Enable application logging. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Enable verbose logging before you collect the log files.
    2. Click Start, and then click All Programs.
    3. Click Accessories, and then click Run.
    4. Type reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Debug /v TCOTrace /t REG_DWORD /d 1.
    5. Click OK.
  2. Open the application to reproduce the error.
  3. Review the error log that is located in the Temp folder. To find the Temp folder, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, and then click All Programs.
    2. Click Accessories, and then click Run.
    3. Type %temp%, and then click OK.

    The following log files may be present in the Temp folder:
    • Bootstrapper*.log
    • c2r_*.log
    • C2RIntegrator*.log
    • Firefly*.log
    • Integratedoffice.exe_c2r*.log
    • Interceptor*.log
    • *.exe.log
    • *_c2rdll*

    Note "c2r" is for Click-to-Run.

    The log file to look for is named for the application that you use to reproduce the error. For example, if you use Microsoft Word to reproduce the error, you should look for the "winword.exe.log" file. You can select the appropriate log file from the following file names:�
    • winword.exe.log
    • excel.exe.log
    • lync.exe.log
    • onenote.exe.log
    • powerpnt.exe.log
    • visio.exe.log
    • access.exe.log
    • publisher.exe.log
    • outlook.exe.log
    • project.exe.log
    • winproj.exe.log
