Error Installing ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.1

I am trying to download my ArcGIS 10.8.1. Once the installation begins, the error appears (see attached image). However, I have tried previous versions of ArcGis Desktop up to version 10.5 but I keep getting the same message

I strongly encourage you to keep any installation media in any other folder than on OneDrive. Just doing that may solve your problem.

Even when using GIS, you should turn off OneDrive synch while you work on those folders (I avoid it).

- Is your machine meeting the system requirements? ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.x system requirements

- Please ensure all Windows drivers are updated.

- What antivirus do you have? Sometimes a third-party antivirus may cause problem. Stopping the anti-virus temporarily may work for you.

- Restart the machine.

- Try to run the installation using the MSI file (instead of EXE file)?
