Visual Studio 2015 setup crashes with the following error after the splash screen is shown: “Setup detected an issue during the operation. Please click below to check for a solution and help us to improve the setup experience.”
After reviewing the Setup failure log dd_vs_****_201*******.log, I found the below failure stack:

VS Setup is a WPF application and WPF apps are susceptible to broken fonts. A similar issue is described at https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/kb/2978135
In this case, the issue was resolved by stopping the “Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache 3.0.0.0” Windows service.
