Hi @Ankur Dixit , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Have you checked the specific error messages in the installation logs file? It is located at %temp% folder and recorded in this file (dd_setup_xxxx_Microsoft.VisualCpp.Redist.14.log). 

Please verify that you, Administrators and SYSTEM have sufficient permission like Full Control/Read/Write to C:\Windows\Temp and C:\Windows\Installer. Then clear C:\Windows\Temp and reboot your computer. 

Then, please try to change the installation log path via the following steps and retry the installation:

• Launch command prompt as administrator

• Type “set tmp=C:\Temp” and “set temp=C:\Temp”

• Launch installer from this command prompt.

 

If it doesn’t work, you can uninstall all the Visual C++ Redistributable items in Programs and Features, then, manually download and install the latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable from the page:

Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Learn 

After installing it, please retry the VS installation.

Sincerely,

Anna
