Hi, thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear that you are running into this trouble. The error code '1603' is a general code that means 'fatal error during installation'. Please go to the %temp% folder and check the package file name like 'dd_setup_datetimexxx_Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Configuration.log', search the error message and share it in here, thanks.
Meanwhile, please check if a required certificate has been revoked. You can follow the instruction below to remove the revoked certificate:
Find Internet Options in Control Panel\Network and Internet or directly search Internet Options in Windows search bar, check if there is a Microsoft certificate in Untrusted Publishers tab.
Internet Options –> Contents –> Certificates –> Untrusted Publishers
Remove the revoked certificate and then return VS Installer to repair your installation.
@Lost Liberty Hello, please help to see if you hit into any blockers in trying out these workaround solutions? If you don’t have a Microsoft certificate in Untrusted Publishers tab, try to type “Administrative Tools” in search box – Open Local Security Settings – Click Software Restriction Policies (Note: If no software restrictions are defined, right click the Software Restriction Policies node and select New Software Restriction Policy) – Double click Enforcement – Select “All users except Local Administrators” – Click OK – Restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Then retry the VS installation.
@Lost Liberty dear customer, would you please help to check if this issue was solved or not? If the previous suggestions do not work, please feel free to let us know, thanks.
