I am trying to install Visual Studio 2015 Community (with updates) on Windows 7 x64, but in the start of the installation, when it is about to install Build Tools 14.0 (x86) it fails. I do not know why this happens and i have tried to find answers but nothing i do seems to work. Please report if you possibly know and answer and a solution.
Here is a screenshot:
[Click here][1]
It's in swedish but it says:
Microsoft Build Tools 14.0 (x86): A fatal error occured during installation
Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015: %1 is not a valid Win32-program
Visual Studio Update Prerequisite: %1 is not a valid Win32-program
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1 Multi Targeting Pack: User stopped the installation
Please help...
Here is the a part of the log file i think the error is in:

Below are the steps I took:
I restarted the system.
I went to task manager and end task for all Microsoft Visual studio setup running. In my case, I had 3 running at the same time. This can be seen around here: task manager. end all the task relating to Microsoft visual studio setup
Goto programs and features, visual studio community --> change --> repair or if you have the .ISO file, you can run it again. choose repair for either option. I used the .ISO file NOTE: I was internet connected when running the repair.
Boom!!! it starts repairing and then you are good to go.
After repair, it will request for a restart. Click on restart and then you have your visual studio up and running
Some file is corrupted or at least Windows thinks it. You should try to absolutely uninstall Visual Studio with all of its doomed components. Then install again.
Problem is that in most of cases uninstall also can't be completed because that corrupted file bloks uninstallation ad installer drop an error.
No problemo. In this case you should to use the magnificent Visual Studio Uninstaller This application remove whole Visual Studio completely, totally and entirely.
Download from here: https://github.com/microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller
After that you are able to install Visual Studio whitout any problem.
(You need .net framework 4.x installed on your machine to use Visual Studio Uninstaller)
