Your MSS00012.log file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Office), or deleted by a malware infection.

Download MSS00012.log Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying MSS00012.log to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Office LOG files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing MSS00012.log and all other LOG files for Office. An incorrectly installed LOG file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
