Git windows installer not letting me choose install location

I am trying to install git using their windows installer from https://git-scm.com/downloads (I have windows 10). When I try to install Git I get unable to get system config then I get " C:\Users\Me\Appdata\Local\Temp\is-VML96.tmp\git-config-get.txt"

Its weird but If I click okay through both it takes me to the standard install setup as seen below:

Now if I click next it SHOULD take me to this screen:

The problem is I never get this screen to choose where I want to install git. I never get this screen above, my computer tries to install it to my system reserved which is only 100Mb.

I have tried multiple different versions of git.

What is causing git not to allow me to choose an install location?

If you run the installation executable from a command line and pass /help you'll get a list of additional commands you can run. The one you need is:

/DIR="x:\dirname"

Here's the list of available arguments:
