Can't install PDM SP2024 on Surface 5?

I've been having trouble getting the SW PDM installed through various methods, following the guides numerous times and it usually results in the same error: 

 

I went down the path off adding a StrLib.dll text folder in that folder itself and that didn't seem to resolve the issue either.

If anyone could offer some insight, it'd help me a great deal to get PDM running.

 

Attached are the IM_logs, just in case. 
 

Thank you.
