Hi Dicky,

The error code 0x80240017 you're receiving when trying to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 might happen if the redistributable package is not installed properly, just like what Andre Da Costa have mentioned here.

If the issue persists with installing the program, we suggest that you re-post your query to the TechNet Forum for a more technical advice.

Let us know if you have further queries.
