Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with fmansetup.exe as both a normal user and an administrator, and check the Help button behavior. Trace the installer path associated with “The installer encountered error 2” and the Help link. Done means installation succeeds in both modes and Help no longer opens a page-not-found error.
