For the record ... got the ERROR 2147163964 during install of VP17 on my new Dell laptop XPS 15 7590 running Windows 10 .. The error was that C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Shared Plug-Ins\Audio_x64\sfppack1_x64.dll would not register. The answer was that my new laptop did not have the necessary C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) installed. Once that was installed, all went well.
