Unable to install SSMS with Azure Data Studio 18.9.1 - getting fatal error


I am trying to install Sql Server Management Studio with Azure Data Studio 18.9.1, but I always get error as below in screenshot:

SSMS 18.9.1 Installation Error

Also, I am logged-in as an administrator on my Windows 10 Pro laptop, so I don't understand that this is an admin access issue. Please help me rectify the error and install SSMS successfully. I have googled the error but I unable to solve this issue. I reinstalled my VS2019 full setup with modify and repair options but still I am unable to install SSMS 18.9.1.

In the log file this message is there: "mainviewModel.OnBundleAction: Bundle action failed: Fatal error during installation (0x80070643)"


Solution
