if you search the Horizon install logs there are in C:\ProgramData\VMware\logs ...... not in c:\ProgramFiles.... and if you do not see the ProgramData folder you need to enable Hidden item on file Explorer proprieties

Hello
from the logs, I see this error
and as indicated in this forum post
Solved: VMware Horizon 5.4.2 won't install Windows 10 x64 ... - VMware Technology Network VMTN
it seems that the installation is unable to modify the file
C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ Drivers \ etc \ hostsThe Horizon Client installation tries to append an entry to the "hosts" file, which seems to be write protected.
The solution in that post was
That could be caused by UAC (permission issue), or an A / V app which prevents modifications for this file.
You may need to temporarily disable A / V, or try to add the entry (I marked it in red) manually to the hosts file prior to running the Horizon Client setup.
