Service 'Sql Server VSS writer' (SQLWriter) failed to start when installing LocalDB

I am on machine with .NET 4.5.2 framework where I am trying to install SQLLocalDB 2019 and launching with administrator, but while installing it's prompting error on service start. Could someone suggest why?

Had the same issue and it turns out you need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 or newer. https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x64.exe

IMO the SQL Server installer should handle this for you, but it doesn't.
