Microsoft setup bootstrapper has stopped working


I'm getting an error when trying to install sharepoint 2010 on the server (windows server 2008 R2 64bit). The prerequisites installed fine, any ideas what this means?

Solution

  • I was having the same issue. I tried the install on 5 different servers and got the same result so it wasn't a problem on the server - it seems to be a corrupt download file on the MS Volume Licensing site. When I ran the download using the download manager instead of the web browser download, it kept saying the file was corrupted after the download finished (tried this a few times with the same result). My solution was to download the software from the Trial download site, then use the key I had from the VL download.
