Unable to install Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio because of error 0x80070643

I am trying to install SSMS but the error 0x80070643 keeps appearing. It says that I do not have Visual Studio C++ 2017 installed, but the SSMS installer does in fact install Visual Studio C++ 2017. So I don't know why it does not find it.

Here is the part of the installation log where the error seems to appear

What can I do to fix it? Already tried to uninstall and install Visual Studio C++ 2017 but it does not work

I installed VS C++ 2017 via the link the error gives me, then restarted the computer, but it still isn't working. Tried to erase it myself and then let the SSMS installer do it for me, but then again, does not work.

I also tried to install the ODBC driver myself, but the same error occurs.

However, with VS C++ 2013 (which is also installed by the SMMS) the error does not occur, as I installed the ODBC 2013 driver and it worked perfectly

As you can see, VS is installed by the SSMS installer. Curiously, when I download VS c++2017 from the link given by the error it allows me to install it even though it should not because it is already installed

What worked for me is

Plus, I also uninstalled all instances of my Visual C++ Redistributable 2013, as per another suggestion I found. (I figured I could reinstall this if needed by something.) I'm unsure if this was related to the fix but I'm including if so.

A reboot was required after the above before it would work.
