“An error has occurred while attempting to download or verify required prerequisite components and Setup cannot continue. Review the configmgrsetup.log file for further details.”

I am trying to run the Setup Downloader to download the files required by ConfigMgr Setup. I’ve entered the path to the directory which exists, but when I click Download I get the following error:

“An error has occurred while attempting to download or verify required prerequisite components and Setup cannot continue. Review the configmgrsetup.log file for further details.”
Looking in ConfigMgrSetup.log I see:
