VS2015 Update 3 install fails

I have a valid VS2015 license, but not a Visual Studio subscription.
Whenever I try to install Update 3 I get the following error:
98119-vs2015-update3-install-error.png

I've tried the suggestions in https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/15f17104-81b2-4b3b-b8a9-5019c575693d/vs2015-update-3-install-fails, but that didn't work. According to https://docs.microsoft.com/answers/answers/399281/view.html (and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releasenotes/vs2015-update3-vs) it seems the installer is moved to Visual Studio Subscriptions Portal, which I don't have access to since I don't have a subscription. How may I get Update 3?

Please try to download the ISO installer package of Visual Studio Professional 2015 with Update 3/Visual Studio Community 2015 with Update 3/Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 with Update 3 to install the latest VS 2015 Community/Professional/Enterprise versions.

Hi JanEgilRuud-3532,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

If having no any subscriptions, you can’t download the “Visual Studio 2015 Update 3” in the Downloads - Visual Studio Subscriptions Portal page.
Please select Subscriptions -> click Join Visual Studio Dev Essentials -> click “Confirm” of pop-up window.
Then, you could open the downloads page again and download the “Visual Studio 2015 Update 3”.

Sincerely,
Anna

Joined "Visual Studio Dev Essentials" and downloaded and ran "Visual Studio 2015 Update 3" (mu_visual_studio_2015_update_3_x86_x64_web_installer_8922962.exe). Still got the same error.

The "Visual Studio 2015 Update 3" webinstaller (mu_visual_studio_2015_update_3_x86_x64_web_installer_8922962.exe) seems to no longer be available. But I could select and download "Visual Studio 2015 Update 3" DVD image (mu_visual_studio_2015_update_3_x86_x64_dvd_8923065.iso). But I also get the same error when running the DVD image.

Dear customer, it seems you download the VS 2015 update 3 and it is an VS update for the installed VS 2015, if you do not install the VS 2015 version before, please try to download the version like: Visual Studio Professional 2015 with Update 3/Visual Studio Community 2015 with Update 3/Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 with Update 3 per your valid VS 2015 license type.
