    Did you 'click here' to see what the logs say? It sounds like maybe your VS installer cache is corrupt. Can you share what the log files are saying?

    Your screenshots are confusing to me as they seem to be a mix of installs. The first 2 screenshots are for SSDT which is something you can install manually, this isn't what we would normally refer to as Visual Studio (although it does use the same shell). Yet in the later screenshot you're showing us the Visual Studio Installer which is part of Visual Studio but normally wouldn't show up for SSDT.

    Another thing that is confusing me is that you mentioned you're using VS 2017 and are trying to reinstall it. But that doesn't line up with your initial screenshots. Can you please clarify the following:

    • What, if any, Visual Studio products do you already have installed?
    • Do you have SSDT installed?

    Assuming you want to reinstall VS 2017, which is only in extended support right now, my recommendation is to do the following:

    • Download and run the Visual Studio Installer for VS 2017. It should install or update the existing installer if available.
    • Install VS 2017 with the workloads you need. Consider skipping the SSDT components (which I think was under Data storage workload but can be selected/deselected from Individual Components).
    • The installer should install the latest updates.
    • Now run the installer again and add SSDT.
