MySql 8.0.15 install failure Invalid Server Template

Question

This is my first MySql install from the ground up. I am using Windows Server 2016, trying to install MySql 8.0.15. I am doing this to try and use it with php 7.3.1.

The install has all the listed prerequisites.

When I get the config section of mysql insstaller, it breaks on the first response with an error of "Beginning configuration step: Writing configuration file

Invalid server template

Ended configuration step: Writing configuration file"

The system event log has one error, "The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID 
{8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919}
 and APPID 
{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}
 to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool."

But I'm not sure this is even the right troubleshooting path to start down.

Can you assist with some guidance?

I had the same problem with the mysql-installer-web-community.

The mysql-installer-community was working without a problem.

The bottom link is the none web installer which was working.
