Thanks for providing the logs. 

 

I'm not sure that you ever got this resolved, but for completeness, there is an alternate set of installers at the bottom of this troubleshooting guide that will probably get you going.

My guess is that there's something underneath us that's failing. 

 

If I were giving you advice on how to troubleshoot this, it would be: 

  • Reboot, becasue "When in doubt, reboot" is always excellent advice, even in 2019
    • Actually power the machine down, give it a few seconds to let all the hardware fully discharge, then power it on again. 
  • If that doesn't help, check the disk for errors:
    • See the "Try Disk Utility" section:

      While you're there, choose Repair Filesystem Permissions (Verify will frequently return clean, but then Repair will still fix a bunch of problems).

  • Run the Flash uninstaller, reboot, then try and run the installer
