Hi @Yuppski ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

From looking at your logs, Package ‘Microsoft.VisualCpp.Redist.14,version=14.32.31327,chip=x86’ failed to install due to “Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and that you can write to it”.

Can you tell us if you have 3rd party anti-virus software enabled or enterprise group policy in place that is restricting you? If so, please temporarily disable them.
And please verify that you, Administrators and SYSTEM have sufficient permission like Full Control/Read/Write to C:\Windows\Temp and C:\Windows\Installer. Then clear C:\Windows\Temp and reboot your computer to repair the installation.

If it persists, please try to change the installation log path via the following steps and retry the installation:
• Launch command prompt as administrator
• Type “set tmp=C:\Temp” and “set temp=C:\Temp”
• Launch installer from this command prompt.

Sincerely,
Anna
