  • A few things firstly: did you try to re-download and re-run? Does it install on a clean virtual? Do you have a pre-release of something on your PC? (for example Visual Studio). You are not actually running Windows in safe mode, are you? – Stein Åsmul Mar 16 '19 at 22:46
  • Do other msi based installations work without a problem? You can also open Services.msc and try to start the Windows Installer service and see if it gives an error message. – Paul G Mar 17 '19 at 00:35

Old Answer: This super-messy answer of old has a suggestion that you should probably check: Node.js installation (windows installer) terminates prematurely on windows 10 64-bit.

Essentially: Essentially un-check Event tracing (ETW) in the setup's feature dialog - or you can try to launch the MSI from an elevated command prompt.

Or, if you need the Event Tracing, try this pragmatic answer.

Custom Installation

Deployment Mnemonic: If further debugging is required, here is a deployment "mnemonic" (as I call it): what is locking (in use), what is blocking (permissions), what is corrupt (disk, malware, configs, encryption), what are unexpected system states (disk space, time & date & language settings, licensing, windows patch state, path too long, etc...), what are incompatible products?

    Hmmm, maybe do a malware check? Just to be sure? And maybe check if your browser is fully updated (just to be sure). In Chrome and Firefox: Help => About. Glad you are operational! Onwards! :-). – Stein Åsmul Mar 17 '19 at 02:10
