You know the bootstrap.exe error? When you run an installation of Messenger.
My friend has that prob, Johnathan, howcome you've removed that program to
fix the bootstrap error?

After downloading the installer exe file, open it with Winrar and extract
the MSI file.
Then you can right-click and install from there.

Note that this likely isn't a supported installation scenario, but it might
get you past the bootstrap.exe error that you might be encountering. Of
course, the better solution would be to resolve the reason of the
bootstrap.exe error, and only use the abovementioned method as a last
resort.
