Microsoft Setup Bootstrapper Windows 10

Microsoft Office 2013 Setup Bootstrapper has stopped working. This issue has surfaced before. Previous possible solutions included using the Microsoft Fixit tool, but it doesn't run on Windows 10. Microsoft is constantly updating and improving Windows system files that could be associated with bootstrapper.exe. Sometimes resolving your EXE problems may be as simple as updating Windows with the latest Service Pack or other patch that Microsoft releases on an ongoing basis.

Microsoft has tried to enhance installation of their products by implementing latest technologies.

Bootstrapper is responsible for the initialization of an application built using the Composite Application Library. You can explore more about Bootsrapper technology onMSDN.
