The installer takes many minutes to arrive at this point, but fails with the same result each time.

We have restarted the server in between each attempt, and have run on the latest Windows Updates. We have .NET Framework 4.5.2 installed on the server. All attempts have been made using accounts with full admin permissions on the server.

Can anyone please advise how we can get this installed successfully?
As per MSDN BOL documentation here  for the SSMS 17.9.1 installation the .NET Framework should be 4.6.1 (or greater).

Make sure you are running an up-to-date version of the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable Package. Version 12.0.40649.5 (or greater) is required. Only the x64 version is needed. And also all the latest OS updates are installed on the computer.
