I resolved the issue partially by switching from “all users” to just me. It installed perfectly.
However, the developer has some checks in the installation routine that might be the problem to the whole non-installation issue for “all users”. When selecting this option, the input window indicates that it wants to make an “upgrade” and not a new install. Obviously, there is still a file on my PC that indicates that I still have Local installed although there is nothing that Windows can see. The log files are irrelevant as they are outdated. I deleted that folder, and a new install did not recreate that folder and the logfile.
The new install just for me as only user recreated that folder and a logfile.
