Thanks. Knowing where that log was allowed me to troubleshoot it myself. The error in my log was:

So, I went to an Admin Command Line to ensure that the Windows Installer Service was running and after I did this command: “net start MSIServer”, the installer worked. Maybe the installer could handle this error by running that command in the background as it was a simple fix. I am still a bit confused on why no other installers have giving me an issue like this.
