Microsoft<\/strong> has tried to enhance installation of their products by implementing latest technologies. In the old days, we have used executable files which were quite capable of installing a product with a single click. However, in Office 2013, Microsoft is using Bootsrapper technology<\/strong>. Bootstrapper is responsible for the initialization of an application built using the Composite Application Library. You can explore more about Bootsrapper technology on MSDN.<\/p>\n Recently, while installing Office 2013, we came around the issue of installation failure due to Bootsrapper technology. We received following error:<\/p>\n Microsoft Setup Bootstrapper has stopped working<\/strong><\/p>\n A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close this program and notify you if a solution is available.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So as you can see in the error message shown above, Windows closes the program but it never notifies anything after that to solve this problem and you\u2019ve have to manually fix it using following steps:<\/p>\n Microsoft Setup Bootstrapper has stopped working<\/p>\n Before you commence, please create a System Restore point before trying this solution. Since making mistakes in manipulation of registry could result in messing up of your system.<\/p>\n Completely uninstall your Office<\/strong> installation. This is important. Having done that, now do the following and see if it helps.<\/p>\n You can now close the Registry Editor and reboot the machine. After restarting the system, you can re-try to install Office 2013, in Clean Boot State<\/strong>.<\/p>\n First things first, backup your registry, you can get steps to backup registry from http:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/kb\/322756 <\/a><\/p>\n\n
