Hi @Patel, Komal (Information Services),

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Please try this: Reboot your machine, download a new VS bootstrapper file from here: Downloads, put it into a new clean folder, run it as administrator.

Update1:

If using newly downloaded bootstrapper file doesn't work, then please try following methods:

1. Directly download the bootstrapper file from here: bootstrapper and retry installing(put the bootstrapper file to another drive's clean folder and click to install).
2. To narrow down the issue, try to download and install the bootstrapper for VS 2019 and check if the VS Installer can be successfully installed.
3. Please try to download and run this collect.exe tool, after it finishes running, go to %temp% folder and look for a file/folder called vslogs.zip. Extract this file/folder, and open the sub-folder called Temp. You should see a/some file(s) start(s) with dd_bootstrapper_XXXXXXXXX, dd_installer_XXXXXXXX, or dd_setup_XXXXXXXX. please check them and let us know if there's any recorded detailed error message.

Sincerely,

Tianyu
