It’s never easy… the downloader doesn’t seem to work from the web or somesuch, or at the very least not with Windows Server 2008 R2; running locally spits out an error about local policy not allowing the installer to run.
To work around this, add a new key named Installer below
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
and then create a DWORD named DisableMSI. Set the value to 0.
In my case I’d already downloaded the installer so I ran it locally, no change to UAC, no reboot, no –force switch on the installer. I’m meshed.

Ps. I deleted the key after install but it’s probably not necessary to do so.
Thank you very much for the tip !
