Are you installing from a compressed .iso image file or executable file to download over the internet? Are you sure there is no other installation going on in the background?

• If you'e installing from a compressed image using a virtual drive try closing and reopening the drive. If that doesn't work, then uncompress it and try again.
• If you're installing from an optical disc, then get another one, the disk may be corrupted.
• If you're using an executable file .exe try restarting your computer and try again.
• If the above doesn't work, check if there is a previous installation on your computer and uninstall then try again.

Right click the package and press 'Run as Administrator' It could be a permissions issue.

Make sure you are not trying to open the package from a compressed folder (.zip, .7z, etc)

Visual Studio Download

Also do you have the .NET framework installed?
