title: "A Setup Package is either missing or damaged" error while installing Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10
body: <p>During the installation of <code>Visual Studio 2015 Community</code> on <code>Windows 10</code> the following error occurred for me:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>A Setup Package is either missing or damaged.</p>
  </blockquote>

  <p>Since <code>vcredist_x86.exe</code> and <code>vcredist_x64.exe</code> files correspond to  <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40784">Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013</a>, I provided a location to   packages after downloading them (<em>third option</em> on the screenshot). After that the installation went smoothly.   </p>
  
  <p>So the question:</p>
  
  <p>are <code>Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013</code> required for installing of <code>Visual Studio 2015</code>, is there any prerequisites for installing of Visual Studio 2015 on Windows 10, may be i'm missing something obvious?   </p>
