Error After Finalization Of Minecraft For Windows Download

After attempting to install Minecraft For Windows (Latest release) on the C drive, the install process seemingly goes smoothly, but after finalization, the install process encounters an error and immediately quits, leaving "Error" floating in the almost-full progress bar. This occurs well into the download, having apparently downloaded all relevant data. The download ultimately fails.

 

Reproduction probably varies. Simply press Install and see what happens. I have left a step-by-step of images in the gallery showing the install.

 

Note: While I listed this under 2.23.7, the Launcher actually says it is running version 2.24.17 (as 2.24.17 is unavailable in the "Affected Versions" dropdown).

 

Update: Attempting to install via the Xbox app also fails. I'm beginning to think this is a support issue, not a bug.
