Q:

A product matching the following parameters cannot be found during VS Installation

I've tried all the solution available at StackOverflow and VS developer community but I'm unable to resolve the error saying.
A product matching the following parameters cannot be found:

channelId:  VisualStudio.15.Release
productId:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Community

Here are the solutions that I've tried.

tried deleting the VS folder in Program Files
tried running InstallCleanup.exe -i with cmd (as administrator)
tried running InstallCleanup.exe -f with cmd (as administrator)
tried deleting VS packages from Program Data
tried installing with new and old both packages

A:

I had this problem and was able to solve with following steps

Open a command prompt with admin privileges
Run following command (this will clean up previous install cache. -full option is important)
"%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe" -full
Restart the installer

Hope this helps. Just to add, I did not have to uninstall VS 2015 for this to work.
