Hi @Karin Johnson ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
If you cannot find the InstallCleanup.exe, please try the following steps to uninstall your VS cleanly:
- Manually delete any leftover install and cache folder you previously installed to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
%programdata%\Microsoft\visualstudio\packages
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
- Delete the setup registry key, which was set when you first installed(Maybe there is only one key, please check one by one.):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup
Then, re-download the new bootstrapper file from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ and run it as administrator.
Sincerely,
Anna
