It's a known behaviour of the Windows Operating system to install system updates in the background which could conflict with DS Mechanical's setup process.
If this happens simply restart your computer which will complete any pending Windows updates and then try running the DS Mechanical setup again.

    This doesn't work.

    I have updates turned off and rebooted several times.

    I kept getting this error trying to use the MSI installer, too. DotNetFix Microsoft installer troubleshooting tools, CCleaner, none of the suggestions I found online had any effect. So instead, I right-clicked the setup.exe and chose Run As Administrator, and the installation completed successfully.

    The 14 May entry doesn't go to the page you say it does.

     

    The 31 May entry goes to a link, the updated fix runs, but doesn't fix the problem.
