I failed to install XNA 4.0. It messages the bootstrapper.exe when installing Microsoft Games for Windows Live Redistributable. Then I installed the latest version of Microsoft Games for Windows and tried again, but it still failed. I have installed VS2010 and my OS is Windows 7 x64.

Which link did you download XNA 4.0 from? – Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen Jul 31 '11 at 4:15
Please provide the exact link. – Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen Jul 31 '11 at 4:22
@Mathias Here is the link: microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=23714 – xjj Jul 31 '11 at 4:43
Are there any details showing up such as an error-message, and error-code, an error-report or anything like it? – Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen Jul 31 '11 at 4:55
@Mathias It shows error-message of "bootstrapper.exe stops work" and then the install program crashes – xjj Jul 31 '11 at 5:12

I solved this problem by extracting all files from the installation program and installing them manually. You can extract the files by inputting the following in a Command Prompt:

your-install-program /x
