I cannot help you with this particular problem but I can highly recommend the VS Developer Community

I’ve been using VS for years without any issues, but I had an installation update go wonky a few months back, and posted a grumpy complaint about the vague error message I’d received, expecting nothing much in return

What I got instead was a member who took the problem, owned it, investigated it, and eventually helped solve it

It would certainly be worth posting your problem there if nobody here at AW can help

Try : Shutdown all instances of Visual Studio
Delete %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_f4938f75\privateregistry.bin file (the ID after 15.0_ may be different per machines)
Start VS as normal user

That did not take care of the issue. I do not show this information located anywhere on my computer.

0x80070005 – Access Denied

This error occurs when Visual Studio can’t access one or more of the required installation files. This error may occur for any of the following reasons:

An outside process, such as an antivirus or anti-malware application, has locked a Visual Studio installation file at the same time that Visual Studio is trying to install the file. To work around this issue, coordinate with your system administrator or other IT professional to make sure that these processes don’t lock Visual Studio files.

The user who is trying to install Visual Studio doesn’t have administrator credentials on the computer. To successfully install Visual Studio, you must be logged in as an administrator.

Permissions on some registry hives can prevent Visual Studio from installing successfully. To resolve this issue, see Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool.
