Visual studio 2017 installer won’t run after extracting

I had this problem too. SHClark’s answer didn’t work for me. I figured out myself what was causing the problem on my computer: Mirekusoft Install Monitor. I disabled both its services and that solved the problem. (I guess that’s not an extremely likely program for someone to have running, but it could be a problem common to install monitors in general?)

I also heard from someone on the Visual Studio Community forum that RivaTunerStatistics (used for gaming) can cause this problem too.
