node.js installer failing with 'CAQuietExec Failed' and 1603 error code on Windows 7

Question

I was trying to install node.js on my Windows 7. But, everytime I am trying to install it gives following error:

MSI (s) (A0:64) [20:01:44:207]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=RegisterEventManifest,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Target=CAQuietExec,CustomActionData="wevtutil.exe" im "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_etw_provider.man")
MSI (s) (A0:F8) [20:01:44:217]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSI7B6E.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec

CAQuietExec:  Error 0x80071a91: Command line returned an error.
CAQuietExec:  Error 0x80071a91: CAQuietExec Failed
CustomAction RegisterEventManifest returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 20:01:44: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

MSI (s) (A0:64) [20:01:44:528]: Machine policy value 'DisableRollback' is 0

I have tried following solutions, but neither worked:

Run Regedit. Do a search for node.js and node.exe. Remove all entries.

Remove any entries from PATH environment variable.

This condition normally occurs due to an incomplete install or uninstallation of node.js.
