Cannot install Garmin Express Windows

I cannot install Garmin Express - it just dies. 

In my Application logs, i get the two errors here:

Application: GarminExpress (1).exe

Description: The process was terminated due to an internal error in the .NET Runtime at IP 704CA524 (70490000) with exit code 80131506.

and then this one right after

No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall .Net - it doesn't work. My PC is Win11 24H2 and all updates are installed. Anyone have any thoughts?
