Multiple Errors Installing Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition

After the failed install you have to repair the 2015 vc redistributables and restart the visual studio installer.

The redistributable installer is messed up, it mixes up 64bit and 32bit dll’s. You can check if you have this problem by looking at the vcruntime140.dll file size. Search your windows folder for vcruntime140 you should see 4 files (64 and 32 bit in both release & debug versions). If any files have the same size, you need to run a repair on the redistributable.

On my system the 32-bit dll is 83,3KB, the 64 bit is 86,6KB (release versions).
