Hi,

What's your OS?

Please try to delete the following installed folders: (you can back up those folders before any modification, in case we need to roll back):

• Go to the folder: %ProgramData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio and delete the ‘Packages’ folder and ‘Setup’ folder if there has.
• Go to the Visual Studio installation folder (normally under %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio) and delete the folder ‘2017’

You could download the Windows Fixit tool from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed, then run it to repair issues including corrupted registry keys or others.

Meanwhile, disable any Anti-Virus or Anti-Spyware software on your computer and make sure you have a good network connection. If the issue persists, I need your help to collect the complete VS installation log. Please usehttp://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.zip under %temp% folder. Please upload the file to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.

Best regards,

Joyce
