From this comment:

After many times of trying to install the new preview, I at last managed to set it down in my computer. Here I share what I have done.

First you must uninstall the installed Microsoft Visual Studio Installer from the Control Panel — Programms–Uninstall Or Modify Programs

Then delete the installed files related to the preview version of VisualStudio15 in the following folders:

1. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
2. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio
3. %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio

Download and install the vs_Enterprise.exe

When complete downloading files needed, you can install them, then you see the visual studio IDE

Answer 2

1) uninstall Microsoft Visual Studio from the Control Panel
2) delete C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
3) delete C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Visual Studio\Setup
4) delete C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Visual Studio\Packages

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.
