Installation ended prematurely because of an error
Installation ended prematurely because of an error is a generic error that can occur with any software installation or reinstallation. So the solutions we suggest here works for similar issues. Once done, make sure to download a fresh copy of the software you want to install.
1] Use a third-party uninstaller
If the software uninstallation weren’t complete, it would leave files which could be the cause. We would suggest you use a third-party uninstaller which can scan for unnecessary files, registry entries and clean up temporary files. Uninstaller programs like IObit Uninstaller, Revo Uninstaller, and others are excellent for daily usage.
2] Install in Clean Boot state
Reboot your computer into Clean Boot state, and then try installing the software. Clean Boot state only runs necessary services, and hence anything which blocks the installation will not be available. Related read: How to uninstall Programs in Safe Mode
3] Restart the Windows Installer service

This Service can add, modify, and remove applications provided as a Windows Installer (*.msi, *.msp) package. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.
4] Re-register Windows Installer Service
Open Command Prompt or PowerShell with admin privileges.Unregister the installer service using msiexec /unreg command.Register the installer using msiexec /regserver
Try installing it again.
5] Re-register VBScript.dll
You may need to re-register the VBScript.dll file by executing the following command in an elevated command prompt: See if this helps. Lastly, if nothing works, I would recommend you share your Windows event logs with Microsoft customer service.
