Peace be upon you, brother
When I tried to install Visual Studio 2019 community edition, I got this error Unable to download installation files. Check your internet connection and try again. And while trying to solve the problem as I found here by installing the certificate files, I got this message Invalid Public Key Security Object File: This file is invalid for use as the following: Personal Information Exchange.
note
I moved the certificate files to C:\ and installed them again but it didn't work
I tried the solution here, and it didn't work either

    Hi, @Mostafa Ramadan

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Could you tell me what your Windows version is? Please check for updates and ensure that all pending and recommended Windows Updates are completed. Then, retry the installation.

    If it still persists, we need the related logs to investigate further. Please download and run this collect.exe tool, go to %temp% folder and find the vslogs.zip file, upload it to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.

    Sincerely,
    Peng
