and then Install.
Solution Number 2.
Extract This Image to a File Folder
using WINRAR software or any de-compressing software.
then right click on Setup.exe and click on Run as administrator.
then follow the installation instruction and complete your set up.
Thanks. :)

none of this working and this appears to be an issue with the manner in which the ISO was created on Microsofts side.
I downloaded the 2016 iso 32 first then deleted and tried 64 bit.
The same error message "the specified module could not be found"
This is beyond exasperating.
