The minion.log won't be there until the instalaltion was possible, so nothing that applies here.
And Sharlikran should be right. If the setup already fails read the sticky troubleshooting guide, especially point 1: Use the 32bit version installer!And then the other steps about "add your Minion installer to the allowed list at your antivirus and anti-malware tools", same after install add the Minion.exe there.
