Unable to Install QuickBooks 22.0+

Issue:
QuickBooks Enterprise Accountant Edition 24.0 / 23.0 / 22.0 downloaded installer(s) will not progress meaningfully past the unpacking screen. The installer will unpack, then immediately display this error after the unpack completes. I have also attached a .gif of the entire installation attempt:

 

"Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Installer"
"Please restart your machine and re run the installer."

 

Please note that QuickBooks Enterprise Accountant 21.0 and earlier WILL install properly.
Could be a coincidence, but we did notice that 22.0 and later installed to the "Program Files" folder on the other devices, as opposed to the "Program Files (x86)" for 21.0 and earlier, so it may have something to do with x64?

Hardware:
Win 2019 and up to date, 16gb memory and 50gb free space.
The hardware and OS should not be the issue. I have two other literal exact hardware/software duplicate devices where the installation was performed flawlessly; one device created about the same time, the third created around two years later.

All suggested fixes we have attempted:
● Several restarts
● Administrator/compatibility modes/Microsoft installation diagnostic/various folders with various read permissions

● MS Visual C++ Redist repair/uninstall/reinstall for versions 200[removed]013/2015-2022 x86/x64
● MS VST 2017
● QuickBooks Tool Hub: QuickBooks Program Diagnostic Tool , QuickBooks Install Diagnostic Tool , 3371 Error Fix
● Installers from CAMPS and the Intuit official download site, different editions (enterprise, accountant, pro, trial)
● Silent installation

● QuickBooks ProAdvisor support, Glance share
● This suggestion (framework.xml edit): https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/install/installation/00/518342
● This suggestion (selective startup): https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/install/re-quickbooks-2022-installer-keeps-forcing...
● Transplanting the installed files and registry entries from the duplicate hardware installations, then attempting a repair (we realize this one was a stretch)
