As you may have noticed in the Bad Install section, the user's name was 'don king' - with an embedded space. I created a new user 'Dale' to test out whether that name might be causing a problem. The new name also failed to complete an install.

Thanks to Moreno and Igor for the Event Viewer suggestions. Here are a few lines of log file where they differ between a good install and a bad incomplete install. The good install was from my Shop PC with Windows 10 Pro.
BTW, I had success with another Dell PC with Win 10 Pro about 4 months ago. This problem appears to be a one-off.
