This happened to me as well and the reason is that Visual Studio 2017 setup cannot uninstall the existing IIS Express package. Try this:

  1. Quit the VS 2017 installer setup and go to this location "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\Microsoft.Ancm.IISExpress.Msi,version=1.0.1967,chip=x64"

    enter image description here

    1. There must be an .msi file with name "ancm_iis_express_x64_en.msi". Run that msi and remove the component (there must be a remove option).

    2. Once done restart the VS 2017 setup again and this time you get past issue with this component. If you encounter similar error, please read the error message, track the package from Packages folder and uninstall that.

Please note that uninstalling any package wont affect an existing package for VS 2015/2013.

Hope this helps.
