    Error 1320 indicates that the file path is too long. VS has a heavily nested structure. Ensure you are installing it to a directory like C:\PRogram FIles or similar. Do not attempt to install it into a long path as this will cause problems. Additionally, while unlikely, make sure you are installing to an NTFS drive and that you are running the latest OS version. Windows long path support was added a while back.
