I've also had this problem, but I noticed that if you go to %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe and run that (in command prompt as Admin with -full) and then reinstall, everything works great. If you already removed that directory you can just launch the installer but instead of choose products you just close it again, and then you can go to folder above and run the InstallCleanup.exe -full. In my case this happened when my computer died in the middle of the upgrade.
