Re: Problems with Setup Bootstrapper



Hi, Frank,

You could try the steps in this article:

"The Windows Installer service could not be accessed" error message when you
try to install Office:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=324516

I'd also try running a scandisk and defragmentation on your system before
doing this.

If that doesn't work, you might try re-installing Windows XP.
