Here's the official Microsoft link.

https://download.microsoft.com/download/7/E/9/7E9188C0-2511-4B01-8B4E-0A641EC2F600/MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab

(Source: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/install-upgrade/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed)

Note: If Microsoft Edge or Chrome mislabels the .diagcab file as PUA/malware, choose to keep it by tapping … in the bottom bar, choosing Keep, and then choosing Keep anyway in the dialog that appears. See this screenshot.

As mentioned earlier, the suspicious activity has nothing to do with that Microsoft app.

It's a reputed Microsoft tool that can clear corrupt Windows Installer entries. Reference: Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/install-upgrade/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed
