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
