    After spending hours and hours and trying ALL of below solutions, including everything Deepa below suggested, nothing worked.

    Finally looking at my Installed program, I decided to uninstall all of my 'SQL Server' installations since I wasn't using them.

    This did the trick and Office installed like a Charm!

    Hello everyone.

    I'm writing also in regard of this post ("Error:**Microsoft Setup Bootstrapper has stopped working").

    So basically I was trying to install Microsoft Office 2013 and was instantly receiving "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 encountered an error during setup" error. Tried cleaning all registry stuff, *Microsoft Fix-It,*played with Task Scheduler and all the things guys mentioned here. So I pretty much gave up and went searching for alternatives. Downloaded some open-source programs and saw that I couldn't install them either! Another problem. Windows Installer service was faulted. To be precise, it was missing. So I followed method 2 given in this post and bingo, I got no setup error nor bootstrapper faults! 

    I hope it helps.

    Another thing to try is stopping the service called 'Office Software Protection Platform' - this helped me after a failed installation.
