Microsoft R Client Installation Fails on MPI Installation Step

I've got an on-prem sandbox server set up with MS Machine Learning Server. I'm trying to set up just the R Client (3.5.2) on my local machine to interact with the server using the mrsdeploy package and other MS packages. The R Client fails to install every time on the MS MPI step, the only error I get is "MPI_10.0.12498.5.exe". The first times I tried there was no visible installation of MPI present on my system.

I then tried installing this version of MPI (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=57467) separately and I still get this message in the log:

[2CA0:111C][2020-04-24T11:37:47]i000: Package MPI_10.0.12498.5.exe Detected in State Absent

I've tried the latest version of MPI (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100593) with the same result.

Whether or not MPI is actually installed the installer sees it as absent and tries to install it. The Log files show the following error:

I read somewhere that this could be related to missing Windows updates, I manually downloaded and installed the most recent cumulative updates from the windows update catalog, and no change. I'm running out of ideas, help.
