The vcvs2017_30.exe installer will not let me repair or uninstall my trial copy of Visual Cobol 3.0.
Here is the end of the log when I tried to uninstall:

I also get the same error code when trying to repair.
My Visual Studio 2017 Community edition works fine for C++ and C# but I don't see any Micro Focus options in the Help menu.
I did have to uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio 2017 because when I had tried to install the latest update from 15.3.2 to 15.3.3 failed. When I did the unistallof VS2017, I had forgotten to first uninstall Visual Cobol 3.0, so that's probably the root cause of my problem.
I am still trying to use the trial version but have talked to my account manger to purchase VC 3.0
I am running Windows 10 with all the latest updates.
