I can't install either VS 2019 or VS2022. I had previous installations. I uninstalled, cleared the install folders, removed keys from the registery, rebooted, downloaded the latest versions. Tried to install. Get same error message for both. Some assembly can not be found. Gives me a guid. What do I do here?

    I did what you said, and tried to install VS Community 2019 and 2020.

    Won't let me install.

    I ran collected and have the zip file on drop box

    Hi @Bruce Krell ,

    From looking at your logs, I found the error message:
    Failed to do machine state detection due to error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

    It seems to not find the System.Data.dll or its dependencies. The dll is related to .NET Framework.
    Please try to use the Microsoft .NET Framework Repair Tool to repair your .NET Framework.

    I did all this. Still get the same error message.
    Thanks for trying to help.

    It appears that somehow the installer thinks that a later
    version has been installed.
