looks like you need to install the PowerShell 3.0 as it is required. You can download the PowerShell 3.0 from here

Once you install it then retry to install the SPO management shell. Also take a look here:

  • Not sure what do you mean by uninstall current version of PowerShell. Do you have some link for instruction to remove. I removed "Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell" with command "Uninstall-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -Force"

This article seems to address your exact issue:

https://support.shortpoint.com/support/solutions/articles/1000253824-enable-scripting-capabilities-with-powershell-for-office-365

It specifically states to Download and Install Windows Management Framework 5.1 if your error appears:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616

After installing, run your SPO Management Shell installer again.

  • WMF 5.0 RTM has been superseded by WMF 5.1. So try to install that and got "Update for Windows (KB3191566) is already installed on this computer."

I encounter similar issue on Windows 10 machine. Windows 10 is using 5.1 and you can't force it to run 3.0. What works for me is to run CMD in Administrator then run the MSI installer from there. That shoule install SP Management Shell Successfully without requiring 3.0
