Try cleaning %Temp% folder and Run as Administrator: get sam error Run to the following command to get log file: vs_community_ENU.exe /l vs_community_ENU.log Log file's content [13B4:2064][2017-02-04T22:53:28]i000: === Logging started: 2017-02-04T22:53:28+07:00 === [13B4:2064][2017-02-04T22:53:28]i000: Bootstrapper v14.0.6023.29133, Windows v6.2 (Build 9200: Service Pack 0), command line: vs_community_ENU.exe /l vs_community_ENU.log [13B4:2064][2017-02-04T22:53:28]i000: Detected bundles: 0, related: 0 [13B4:2064][2017-02-04T22:53:28]i000: Downloading http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=532606&clcid=0x409 with IFileOperation, file: C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\2\{5146D553-06B4-422A-9690-1F7ACCE85DF1}\vs_community.exe, attempt: 1 [13B4:2064][2017-02-04T22
Practice until you can't make it wrong.
