I faced the exact same issue while installing Adobe XD and I tried everything that I could possibly find on the Internet and nothing seemed to work for me. But I finally found the solution after 3 days of trial and erros.

1. Press Window key + R, type appwiz.cpl and press enter button.

You'll see the list of installed programs on your computer.

2. Scroll to Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable installations, you'll have a lot of them ( I had  programs from 2005 to 2019)  Right click on each one individually and click on MODIFY, then press REPAIR. Repeat this for all the one which have the option.

3. Restart your computer, and install again It'll be installed this time.

NOTE : I tried everything from  Adobe help for error 191 and then did this at last to fix my problem.

I find a solution in my case. (it may works for others)

1. If you have windows update disabled , activate it.

2. Run cmd as administrator and put this (sfc /scannow) don t put those parenthesis only the text.

3. Once the comand has finished , reboot your pc.

4. Now try again to install Adobe Experience Design (Beta).

5. Hope this will help you

Perhaps this thread may be useful... at least for determining the possible cause.

Thanks CoreyRLucier​. I tried this but didn't have any luck. My TEMP and TMP variables were originally set to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp. I tried setting them to c:\WINDOWS\TEMP and restarted the computer, ran the install and got the same error. I also tried creating a local admin account, restarted the computer, tried the install under the new local admin account, and still got the same error. I found this detail in the error message if helpful:

Troygeek if you begin the download and install experience through the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application do you receive the same error?  You can find details on how to begin the installation process at Download and install Creative Cloud apps .

Also if you run Windows updates are there any pending updates available for Windows 10?  If so please apply the updates prior to attempting the installation.  Adobe Experience Design requires all of the latest Windows updates be installed prior to installing successfully.
