The Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extension is installed in VS2019 successfully in my side. So I suspect something is wrong with your VS environment. Please follow these steps to troubleshoot your issue:

1) delete all VS2019 component caches under C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_xxxxx\ComponentModelCache

2) disable any third party extensions under Extensions-->Manage Extensions to prevent any other extensions affect it.

3) do a repair in VS installer

4) update your VS2019 to the latest version and do not forget to update your OS version in case there are some fixes.
