Node JS installation ends prematurely

Question

I noticed there was another question about this elsewhere, but it is a bit dated. Here is the issue

I am having trouble downloading NodeJS v4.2.4 It goes through the installation process, and then prompts "Rolling back action". Afterward, it states: "Node.JS Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error."

I created a log file from the .msi but it doesn't come up with anything too interesting. Really interested in hearing feedback for this.

I tried unchecking Online documentation as stated here: Stack Answer but to no avail.

Im on Windows 10 64 bit.

try installing as administrator perhaps (that's a long shot) - also, try version 5.4.0 - see if it too fails — Jaromanda X, Jan 11 '16 at 02:01
Thank you for the feedback. Although, I tried both of those options but to no avail. :( — heyitsalec, Jan 12 '16 at 02:30
There's absolutely no indication of what the error is? That's a pretty poor installer!! — Jaromanda X, Jan 12 '16 at 02:33

Set the "performance counter" to "only run when required"
