SQL Clone Agent - VC++ 2017 runtime installation fails
Hello,
I am trying to install SQL Server Agent on my PC, but the installation is failing with the following error:
Clicking 'Yes' to open the log does nothing, the installer just hangs when I click on it. I did not find any entries in Event Log either. I check if it logged anything in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Red Gate\Logs, but there was nothing SQL Clone related there.
The currrently installed version of MS Visual C++ 2017 runtime is 14.16.27024, I tried uninstalling it, but it appears that my SQL Server 2017 instance (version 14.0.2002.14) depends on it so I am a bit hesistant to do so.
I should add that I installed SQL Server 2017 using chocolatey and it is Chocolatey that installed the MS Visual C++ 2017 runtime dependency.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue before, and if so, how did you get around it?

Comments
1. force uninstalled the existing VC++ 2017 runtime
2. installed SQL Clone Agent
3. re-installed VC++ 2017 package in Chocolatey
At first glance everything appears to be ok.
