I uninstalled visual studio 2015 because I was trying to fix another issue I was having, and it was suggested an uninstall/install might fix it.

1) I went through programs and features, found VS2015, selected change, then uninstalled VS2015.

2) rebooted

3) I tried the install again, making sure windows SDK 10.0.10586 was selected and I received this message after the install completed: "Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) The installer failed. Unknown error 15605 Error code: 15605"

The log has these error messages: [2094:210C][2018-08-15T12:07:34]i000: MUX: Updating secondary installer progress display name: Outer=Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586), Inner= [2080:2084][2018-08-15T12:08:42]e000: Error 0x80048646: Process returned error: 0x80048646 [2080:2084][2018-08-15T12:08:42]e000: Error 0x80048646: Failed to execute EXE package. [2094:2098][2018-08-15T12:08:42]e000: Error 0x80048646: Failed to configure per-machine EXE package.

4) rebooted

5) I tried a repair and then modify, I get the same message.

6) rebooted

I did not readily find a solution online, but I did find a suggestion to try downloading it from Windows SDK archive.

7) I download it from the site and after trying to run the install or the download, I get an error message "Setup cannot locate WPTx64-x86_en-us.msi Check your internet connectivity" I am certainly connected to the internet. So then I dig more into the error message, and I came across this guide that suggests clearing the package cache before modifying the install to add windows SDK. ( I would post a link but I cant...) This is where things get weird...

8) I clear my package cache, then go back to programs and features, and VS2015 is GONE. However, the shortcut on my desktop still works, VS2015 executes, no problem, but I can't modify the install.

9) rebooted

10) Re-install VS2015 so it would show on the programs and features list again. It still failed to install the SDK, but I wasnt expecting it to work that time.

11) rebooted

12) I tried a complete wipe of VS2015 because I know the uninstall doesn't really get rid of everything. There is a great tool for that on github (again, cant post links) I ran the uninstaller, confirmed that it worked.

13) rebooted

14) Ran the installer again ( with windows SDK selected), and I get the same error message after the install completed. I don't know what else to try, if anyone has a suggestion, that would be greatly appreciated.

I posted this same question on stack overflow with pictures and links, that might be a little more helpful. Since my account is not verified, I cannot post links and pictures here, but the title is exactly the same if you want to try and find it.
