Hello,

I can't install VS2019 (nor VS2017) on my Dev machine. I always get the "A product matching the following parameters cannot be found" message while launching the installer. In the log file, I can read the following error:

Error : Failed to get product summaries. [installerId: SetupEngine, error: Illegal characters in path. at System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path.




I already contacted the Live chat and tried many fixes:

. InstallCleanup.exe -full

. Disabled FW and AV
. Removed Mirosoft VS folders in Program Files x86, AppData and user AppData
. Uninstalled NewtonSoft from the GAC and removed from the registry
. Restart the whole process after having installed all Windows Update. I'm now with Windows 10 build 1809 (it was 1803 yesterday)
. Launched the vs_enterprise.exe from a Command Prompt with System Context (psexec)

Nothing worked. Any idea?

Thanks.
