I am trying to re-install Office 2007 after a hard drive failure. When I
run
the setup programme I get the message "Microsoft Setup Bootstrapper has
stopped working". Can anyone help me with a way to overcome this?


Do you have your operating system fully updated (what version of Windows are
you using and it's service pack level?) Have you totally reinstalled
drivers for all your operating system?
