  2. Installer error 2503 and 2502

    I downloaded the troubleshooter, at first it detected no problems and offered to troubleshoot install or uninstall, so I tried to use it to uninstall Similarity app (standard uninstall gives the same errors) and the troubleshooter was able to uninstall it
    successfully. Here is the report:

    Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter

    Looks for problems that can stop you installing and uninstalling a program

    Package Version: 1.3

    Publisher: Microsoft Corporation

    Then I tried to reinstall it the standard way and I still received the errors. So I reinstalled it launching the installer through cmd as admin. Then I yet again tried to uninstall it the standard way, without troubleshooter, and it failed with the errors.

    So it seems troubleshooter is unable to fix anything.

    Doesn't the problem come down to some kind of administrator privileges for some of the important install folders like Program Data or something...?

    The program probably isn't compatible with Windows 10, but you can try installing in Compatibility Mode. Uninstall the program, then right-click on the installation file and select "Troubleshoot compatibility."
