In general when you hit errors like this you should consider enabling MSI logging as documented here: Generating and Locating NI Package Manager Error Logs. This is helpful to see more error details.

The issue that you are hitting might be related to the issue discussed here: Installation error: ni-metauninstaller (22.0.0.49152-0+f0). In the discussion Wes mentioned an issue where some required reserved folders might not be defined, see Re: Installation error: ni-metauninstaller (22.0.0.49152-0+f0).
