I had the same problem, i solve that doing this
Uninstall Visual Studio 2017 and other Visual Studios
Delete C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Uninstall any Visual C++
Look for any Visual Studio Key on the Regedit and delete
Delete C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Visual Studio 2017 (Backup your projects)
Delete C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Visual Studio\15.##
Update your Windows and restart your pc
Install Visual Studio 2017 again
Try to open, and one error apears
Copy the devenv.exe.config file locate in the root of the IdE to
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Visual Studio\15.##
Try to open again
Try to open in safe mode
Try devenv.exe /resetSettings
Try to repair Visual Studio Again
For me works :) !

Issues installing Visual Studio 2015

I have been trying to install visual studio 2015 so I can install the core tools from here Core Tools
Every time I install Visual Studio 2015 I get errors, see below screen shot, with packages not installing and these subsequently prevent me from installing the core tools.
I get these errors in both the community and professional versions. The install log shows the following errors for each of the packages shown below
[18C4:2618][2017-02-07T13:17:37]e000: Error 0x800b0003: Failed authenticode verification of payload: C:\ProgramData\Package

[18C4:2618][2017-02-07T13:17:37]e000: Error 0x800b0003: Failed to verify signature of payload: nugetvs
Any ideas why this verification would fail?
I did see This post but the solution there didn't help here and the log messages are different
