Power BI Desktop Installation Error Message 2753

I've tried to update my Power BI Desktop, downloaded it and when it runs, it appears to install but at the last minute I get an 2753 error message.

From the error message, it seems to be related to Windows but not the package itself. You can try to uninstall the old version PBI Desktop firstly and download the latest version package again from Power BI site. If issue still persists, you can take a look at following links which provide solutions to this error while installing some other software.
