Intuit install would fail once it tried to install or check for microsoft visual studio.  I went to this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170

and I downloaded the latest version directly: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe 

then restarted and tried installing ProSeries, and it worked.  

Maybe Intuit's naming convention without the underscore between c and r killed the install...or not.
