Visual studio installer doesn't start correctly

3

I just had to change my HDD. So I installed a version of Windows 10 Education on my computer, and now I'm trying to install Visual studio 2017 community/enterprise ( tried both ). After running the installer which was downloaded from the official website it doesn't start the installation, I just see for a tiny amount of time a small window pop but then it instantly shuts. What could be the reason for this behavior and how to fix this problem?

Edit: I can install other software, I managed to install a few other programs without a problem, I notice this behavior only with Visual studio and additionally .NET Framework installer.

Edit2: I found this in my temp folder :

Edit 3: THANKS MICROSOFT you really screwed me up huh.

Edit 5: Changed windows version from education to professional and it works!
