I resolved the installation issue by enabling my system to install applications under Safe Mode.For other users experiencing this issue, use the following procedure to enable installation under Safe Mode, then install the program(s).- Use MSConfig (or other preferred method) to enable Safe Mode.
- Open an elevated command prompt.
- Paste the following commands into the command prompt window, pressing ENTER after each command.
The first two command adds the "Service" registry value, enabling the Windows Installer service under Safe Mode. The third command starts the Windows Installer service.
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal\MSIS
erver" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Network\MSIS
erver" /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
net start msiserver
