Hello @Zahrasgh-8115!

Hope you are having a great day!

Microsoft recommends the following procedure in this case:

  1. Close the Visual Studio Installer

  2. Delete the Visual Studio Installer directory. Typically, the directory is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer.

  3. Run the Visual Studio Installer bootstrapper. You may find the bootstrapper in your Downloads folder with a file name that follows a vs_[Visual Studio edition]__*.exe 4. pattern. If you don't find that application, you can download the bootstrapper by going to the Visual Studio downloads page and clicking Download for your edition of Visual Studio. Run the executable to reset your installation metadata.

  4. Try to install or update Visual Studio again. If the Installer continues to fail, go to the next step.

There is also a bit of warning:
Performing the following actions reinstalls the Visual Studio Installer files and resets the installation metadata.

But in the end, it reinstalls the VS Updater.

Hi, @Zahrasgh-8115

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

You can try to uninstall Visual Studio then download the Visual Studio2017 in this page. Cause on April 26, 2021, Visual Studio 2015 and older web installer files were removed from the Microsoft Download Center, you cannot install Visual Studio via Visual Studio Installer bootstrapper.

Sincerely,
Peng
