Hi @Frocalo ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

After looking at your logs, Package 'Microsoft.IntelliTrace.ProfilerProxy.Msi,version=15.0.21225.1,chip=neutral' failed to install. The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory: D:\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Common\IntelliTrace. The installation cannot continue.

Please check the security setting of the folder and make sure you have the necessary permissions on it: D:\Programs\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Common\IntelliTrace.
• Administrators group: Full control
• SYSTEM account: Full control
• Everyone group: Read & Execute
• Users group: Read & Execute

Meanwhile, please check if you have specialized anti-virus, app-blocker, or GPO based permission software installed that maybe be denying access to this location.
Temporarily disabling Windows Defender and\or Windows Defender Controlled Folder Access.

Then, running VS installer as administrator to repair your VS installation.

Sincerely,
Anna
