Visual Studio unable to launch the installer. Error: the system cannot find the file specified
I removed Visual Studio 2022 Community and tried to reinstall it.
Every time I get this error.
I tried everything I found on the internet: removing all the "leftovers", cleaning the registry, downloading the bootstrapper, etc.
I encountered the same issue, and the solution for me was to do the same as the poster's comment, but I thought I would add a more detailed explanation.
Find where the Visual Studio installer is located in your program files. For me, this was in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio.
Within that directory, rename or delete the folder called "Installer" then rerun whichever Visual Studio setup application you need from here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
This got rid of the error for me and allowed me to properly install VS.
