In your BootstrapperCore.config, the supportedRuntime and supportedFramework
elements use different schemas (different values for the version attribute,
supportedRuntime allows use of the sku attribute while supportedFramework
allows the runtimeVersion attribute).
I suspect that you are crashing on the presence of the supportedFramework's sku
attribute. Get rid of it and see what happens.
