Interestingly, retrying the install several times eventually got it to install. I'll leave the ticket open for investigative purposes.

Thank you for reporting this @MNGoldenEagle.

Looking at the logs, this looks like a connectivity issue when download the distribution (0x80D02002 = DO_E_DOWNLOAD_NO_PROGRESS)

Good to know! I guess my only comment is that the reporting for the error could be made more clear so that it wouldn't be necessary to find an error code decoder in order to understand what the issue is.
