Visual Studio 2017 Broken and Cannot Uninstall or Repair [duplicate]

Answer 1

Do not try this solution before trying others as the first step just deletes everything in the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\

The only solution which worked for me was:

1. run C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe -full

2. run C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe with admin rights

3. click modify and add some option
