Q: Bootcamp error on installation
So I have lived for a while with Windows 10 and the fact that I cannot access the bootcamp control panel, but it has got to a point where I need to fix it. I have Installed the newest drivers onto a clean formatted USB and then when I install I get some random, non-specific error and the installation continues as if it has completed, but the features are still unavailable.
"Windows Installer has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program."
Then another window
"Error"

Are there several error messages or just one? Usually the download of just the BC drivers does not get corrupted, but can you run BC Assistant (and assuming you have El Capitan), re-download the drivers using
and check the Product version before you run setup.exe?
1. Are you logged in as Administrator of the Windows installation?
2. Is your existing Windows account tied to a Windows Domain Controller?
3. The second test is to create a new Windows account/user with Administrative rights and run the setup.exe from this new account and check if you get any error messages when setup.exe is run?
4. Remove the RealTek folder from the Drivers folder on the USB and check if your error messages stop.
