Hi ModiMornex did you check this link? https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/58543

it could well be that the antivirus is blocking it

HI, @ModiMornex @Ddekok24 

I went through the vminst_20230510093709.log
After doing so, I found an error related to vmusbd (USB Redirection).

If you can format the OS, that is the best you can do.
If you really do not want to do OS formatting, try the following steps.

Clear the following path C:\Program Files(X86)\VMware\ (client folder) delete the old Horizon client folder after the un-installation.
Delete the VMware VDM folder under "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc. " from regedit
Reboot the client machine.
Try disabled the Antivirus software in the client machine if you have and try install the Horizon client.
