.NET Core tools preview for Visual Studio (2015) installation failure

I am reinstalling visual stuido with .net core. I followed the steps stated on the website (https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#windowsvs2015).

However, during the installation .NET Core tools preview for Visual Studio I am obtaining the following error, which I did not understand. I am admin of the PC. I will be glad if you can suggest solution(s).

Here is the last part of the log file of the installation:

I had a similar issue after trying Visual Studio 2017. The Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x64) - v 14.10.+ was installed. I removed it and reinstalled v 14.0.x from here https://download.microsoft.com/download/6/D/F/6DF3FF94-F7F9-4F0B-838C-A328D1A7D0EE/vc_redist.x64.exe - after that I was able to run the installers and get the dotnet cli working again.
