This is what's causing the issue.

vdmInstUtil: 09/02/20 08:43:33 ERROR: Failed writing to file "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc\hosts".

For some silly reason, it wants to add an entry to the hosts file as shown below.

127.0.0.1 view-localhost # view localhost server

A lot of AntiVirus applications will prevent this, and hence the failed install. The workaround is to stop the AV temporarily until the install is complete, or add those entries manually. If that entry exists, it will skip that part.
