Visual Studio 2017 installer stuck on win10SDK but its not there - visual-studio-2017

I ran a VSIX not knowing that it would try to intall win10SDK on my vs2017. So I canceled it. Now when I try to run vs2017 it tells me the installation is not finished. When I go to the installer and click modify, it attempts to install win10SDK, and just gets stuck there. I cant enter visual studio and found no solution online, is there a way to stop the installer from trying to find/install win10SDK.
Im running a windows 8.1

Visual Studio 2017 - Installation issue, No option to uninstall

While upgrading Visual studio 2017 v15.4 the installation hanged up for hours and later I have forcibly restarted the machine. I know many of you might have gone through the same, appreciate your time for replying to this issue.
Thereafter tried opening the VS shell, it prompted me "The setup of this installation of Visual studio is not complete. Please run the Visaul studio Installer again to correct the issue." (shown as below)
As a last resort looked at the uninstall option but Vs installer is not prompting me with such option
Alternatively tried installing from VS_enterprise.exe and installation directory marked as incomplete as shown below

Problems installng/uninstalling 'Visual Studio Community 2013 with Update 5'

I've been having problems installing/uninstalling visual studio, the first time, I successfully installed it, but then I realised I had no use for it and needed the older version. I tried uninstalling it, but the loading bar wasn't moving after 10 mins, so I deleted the files from \Program Files (x86)\ instead.
So I went on and installed visual c++ 2010 express. But the next day,(after failing at everything) I found I did in fact need VS community 2013, so I downloaded the installer and it failed to install a couple things that didn't matter, but when I tried to find where VS installed, there were only the extra bundle programs, and not VS, so I figured I'd have to fully uninstall it.
I've tried uninsalling it, but it failed.
I've tried force uninstalling it, but all that did was try to reinstall it.
At the moment I'm do the sfc /scannow command
Info About my PC:
OS: Windows 10 Home
System Type: 64-bit OS, x64-based processor
Here's a log from when I tried to repair (or reinstall it, I can't remember) it:

I found out how to do it.
Intsall VS 2013
uninstall it
reboot
delete VS from program files
install VS 2013

Visual C++ 2015 Tools for Windows desktop installer won't open

I have installed Visual studio 2015. But I didn't noitced that the typical install didn't include the c++ tools. I follewed this guide on the Visual C++ team blog(https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/07/24/setup-changes-in-visual-studio-2015-affecting-c-developers/) but when I click on the install button only this window pops up.
Pop up message
And after i press ok it closes and nothing happens(I have tried to run as administrator but nothing changes).
Visual Studio 2015 RC Community will not install, says it is already installed
I had a similiar issue and found finally as cause entries under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DevDiv\vs\Servicing\14.0. To modify/delete this entries (or the key itself) solved (for me) the problem.

Cannot Install Visual Studio 2015 Community on Windows 7

Every time I try to install visual studio community version I run into an issue with missing setup packages. The installer particularly tells me that I am missing vcredist_x86.exe.
However, I have installed the visual c++ redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 as well as the ones for visual studio 2015. I don't get why this message keeps coming up.
I can continue installation if I select "skip", but the message comes back not much later.
Try running the installer with administrator rights (right click on installer exe and select 'Run as administrator').

Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate - Missing C++ Projects Templates

I installed fresh install of my Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 and launched it. I then went to FILE -> New -> Project and wanted to create new C++ project. However, there is no option for creating such project now (I know it was there before, on my second laptop). I restarted installer and pressed repair, but nothing changed. I also tried to uninstall it and then install it back again. I also have MSVC2015 RC and I can create C++ Projects there. During an installation I was asked if I want to install certain features as well and I did install everything that was offered.
This is how my New Project looks like.
What is going on in there? Did I forget to install something?
I had the same issue with VS2012, some time ago. I've solved installing again. Not sure if VS2013 makes you configure if you want to install "C++ stuff" during the installation process.
