Cannot install ESP IDF tools on Windows 10

I tried both the offline and online installers, neither worked.
The online installer complained about "directory existing and not being empty". It was empty at the start, but obviously not later on. The installer finished but not everything was installed.
The offline installer failed with exit code 1. I tried again disabling the defender antivirus. Same thing.
What else do I have to do to install the tools on Windows 10?

Can you post your logs how it has failed?

Also, if you are using any IDE, like Eclipse, or VSCode, they have extensions that you can install into the IDE, and the extension can help you set up the tools and the environment. There are video tutorials and also guides HERE!
