Windows Mixed Reality for VS Install Error 1608

Hey there,
We have been trying to install Windows Mixed Reality Templates for Visual Studio, but we always end up with Error 1608.
Our operating system is Windows 10, with Visual Studio 2019 Community Installed, along with the Universal Windows Platform tools option checked.
For some reason, however, we still get the following log file. This is parts of it that show the error. I have also attached the full log file if deemed necessary.

May I know what could be causing this issue? We have signed into Visual Studio with the university's student account and visual studio is therefore fully licensed.
Thanks for passing by.
