I have tried searching Google and the forums for possible solutions and I am either not searching the right thing, or I have a unique problem.
I have been recommended to try PM again so I wanted to give it another go with the PM trial. Unfortunately, I keep running into the same error message. I'll attempt to attach it here.
I have checked the Windows Installer and it is running, but no start or stop option. I have deleted and redownloaded the PM installer twice, I even tried the PM+ installer. I have shut down my PC, restarted, I have disconnected all external hard drives, tried to run as an administrator. The run as admin option is not even listed as an option. I double checked and I am the administrator for my PC. I'm out of ideas and I was already on the fence with PM because a few years ago I tried it and was unsuccessful.
