Visual Studio 2017 Installation Error: Unable to download installation files. Check your internet connection...
Ive been trying to install VS 2017 for a long time no but without success. When I run the installer I have to click continue and after that it just repeats the same process (downloading, verifying, downloading, verifying etc) till I get the error
Unable to download installation files. Check your internet connection and try again.
Ive tried many solutions which Ive stumbled upon. Here's the ones that ive tried:
- Disabling all anti virus programs & firewall
- Changing my DNS to Google's servers (8.8.8.8)
- Try to use the --noweb option while starting the setup file.
- Install the certificates from the setup file (right-click the exe > Properties > Digital Signatures, select the signature > Details > View certificate > Install certificate)
- Check if "CNG key isolation" is running: no, not running. Is this a problem?
- I am perfectly able to install vs_installer.opc from this link
Did the following method:
1: Fire up run, type "gpedit.msc" 2: Brows to the following location: "Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>System>Internet Communication Management>Internet Communication settings" then find the entry "Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update" and open her up and set it to "Disabled". 3: Get Windows to check for updates, it will appear to do nothing (unless of course you need to actually need download updates, in which case you'll have to update, sorry!). 4: Now try running the installer again, this fixed the issue completely and allowed Visual Studio to install without any warnings or issues.
Did all the Windows updates
- Tried installing with a VPN
- Tried to install the offline version (without success, same story)
- Tried both VS 2017 community/enterprise and vs_buildtools.exe, all have the same error.
Someone that can help me out? Im getting really frustrated. Ive reinstalled windows like 2-3 months ago and on the previous install I was able to install VS without any problem.

What version of Windows are you using? Does your user have the correct permissions to install software?

Why exactly are you specifically disablingTurn off Automatic Root Certificates Update? By shouldn't be necessary considering the default behavior of that policy. You should provide the installation log it will have the exact reason the installation could not proceed. Instead of submitting a comment, just provide the relevant information, as an edit to your question.

I got it solved! Apparently I didnt properly install windows updates, but after I restarted my pc and only did the windows updates it worked. @Ramhound I found that solution on this thread: answers.unrealengine.com/questions/746735/… - I reenabled it once again to prevent future problems :)

@Pοlatic - You should submit an answer instead of replying with a comment. You should indicate which update was necessary to resolve this problem.
