Note for others with installer problems for Visual Studio 2017/2019/vNext

Before messing with your system FIRST TRY CLOSING EVERY OTHER PROGRAM.

Sounds silly, i know! But I almost missed inhahe's answer mentioning that RivaTuner could cause problems. Closing that caused it to start working instantly.

TL;DR: Close all other programs like you always ignore in installation instructions :)
