Visual Studio 2015 Setup crashing

Question

today I wanted to install Visual Studio (Visual Studio 2015 Community) again, but every time I try to start the setup the Application crashes like so:

1. I try to execute the .exe I downloaded
2. A window pops up saying that it is extraction files.
3. I am prompted to press "Continue" assuming that I accept the terms of service etc.
4. Application Crashes.

What I've done so far:

1. Check the log files that are being generated, with little success so far. The only thing that catches the eye is an error saying "read ENOTCONN" is a Problem. When trying to google that specific error I didn't find anything known and related to a Visual Studio Installation.

2. Repair vc redistributable. Didn't do anything.

3. Google like a madman, trying to find an answer.

If there is need for any more information that I've not yet provided I would be more than happy to provide it.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Usually, before we try to install the VS and there have some installation tips that can help us to avoid the unnecessary issues, please have a look at the following:

1. Make sure windows update is up-to-date

2. Temporarily disable antivirus software

3. Clean up the %temp% folder

4. Run the installer as administrator
