Found problems with reinstall and today I was able to work around it by removing these items to allow the installation to think it was not installed prior: 
 

Prior to today (4/5/2022) yesterday I uninstalled and then restarted the server overnight. 

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products

This folder must also be empty: 

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Azure AD Sync\Data 

 

Once those 2 areas were cleared I was able to get it to install.
