Installation fails

Hi guys, i was having issues with DAX. It seemed as if it didnt find the DAX libraries. So I unistalled  PBI so I could install  a fresh version.

When I try install, I select install as admin,  on the latest install file.

I am asked if it can install. Click "YES"

But then nothing. No errors. Nothing.

Not even a progress bar. squat

 

Its on windows 10.

Where can I find an installation log?

Or does anyone have any other suggestion?

cheers

Ian
