Solution

  • Most probably you are dealing with a connection problem. You may try to repair your VS installation at a later point of time.

    You may consider downloading a local installation package, select the Download all, then install option in the dropdown at the bottom of the Workloads tab of the Visual Studio Installer. The purpose of this feature is to frontload the downloading of the Visual Studio packages onto the same computer that you plan on eventually installing Visual Studio on. By downloading the packages locally first, you can then safely disconnect from the internet before you install Visual Studio.

    download all, then install

    Also you can download the installer locally by using a command line. And only then you can launch the installer for the Visual Studio, so you will not face with such problems. Read more about that in the Create an offline installation package of Visual Studio for local installation article.
