    Hi @Ken Socko

    The error may be related to your Microsoft Edge. 

    Please open your Control Panel > Uninstall a program > search “Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime” > right-click on it > Change > Repair.

    Then, restart your computer and go to retry the installation. 

    If it doesn’t work, I would suggest you reinstall the Microsoft Edge using the latest version. Or report a new question in Microsoft Edge to first solve the Microsoft Edge error. 

    You can also consider reinstalling Windows, which may resolve your issue faster.
