Solution

This error can be happening if your machine is experiencing an error associated with Windows error 1625. The error 1625 in Windows mostly happens when there is a security policy enabled that can be blocking the installation in the machine.

You may try the following steps to troubleshoot your issue:

• Make sure you have administrative rights on your PC.
• Make sure that there is no specific Group Policy that could block the software from being installed. You can refer to this external link to check for the Group Policy.
• Ask for support from your IT department.
• If you are using Windows 11, specifically with the H22 release and later, you could be experiencing this issue if you have Smart App Control enabled. The Smart App Control is not recommended for all users of Windows, and you will have an evaluation period for the app to evaluate if you are a good candidate for using it. If you have manually enabled it, the solution will be to disable Smart App Control by accessing the [EXTERNAL LINK] Smart App Control settings.
• If these steps do not solve your issue, contact Microsoft Support for assistance.
