Installation of ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1 is failing with Windows Log EventID 1000 on Windows 7 x64. Faulting module kernelbase.dll. Attempting to run the installer for the license manager instead of the Desktop software yields the exact same results. The install stops immediately with the same error.
The computer previously was running ArcGIS Desktop 10.2.1 which was uninstalled before the attempted installation of 10.3.1. The user had installed every single option available including the ArcObjects SDK, Data Reviewer, Desktop Background Geoprocessing, License Manager, Workflow manager, Case Tools, and Data Interoperability all of which had been uninstalled. This user's computer has higher spec's than the other computers which worked fine and has plenty of RAM (16 GB) and disk space.
