VMWare Horizon Client Installation Failed

Tried messing with the hosts file, uninstalling my antivirus, but nothing i've tried has worked yet, here are the logs

This is usually caused by AV blocking writes to hosts file. I think you have already tried it, but if not try adding the below lines to 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts

127.0.0.1 view-localhost # view localhost server

Hi, @Luxxadin @Jubish-Jose 

I have reviewed the vminst_20230509074113.log you uploaded.

The error content was exactly the same as the Horizon Client installer log in another thread.
