Error when trying to install mongodb with mongo compass

Question

I am getting the following error message when the MongoDB MSI tries to install mongo compass:

"Errors while parsing Compass preferences

Unknown option "squirrelFirstrun" (while validanting preferences from: Command line)"

I don't know what to do to fix it.

I already uninstalled everything, deleted the mongo folders, restarted the computer, did the compass installation manually (outside of the mongodb installer) and the same error appears, I tested it with other versions of mongo, with other versions of compass, I checked firewall or something like, and nothing worked.
