Unable to install development tools for SQL 2017 on W10

Unable to install SSDT for 2017, SSMS for 2017 or SSRS for  2017 due to language mismatch.  I have a W10 Professional with SQL2017 and VS Community 2017 installed. In the log files there are messages about language mismatch and on the screen there are messages about unknown registry key. The language is English and I have been using the English version of the OS and the tools. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get past this? The few notes I have been able to find say it cannot be done.

FYI, I've both SSMS and SSDT for 2017 installed in my Windows 10 Pro machine..
Kindly try doing a clean uninstall of the existing ones and then try installing it again which should work..
Kindly send across the exact error message you are receiving so that we can try to see whether it helps or not..

I had removed every SQL component I could find and rebooted before trying to install again. Here are the log files from SSDT and SSMS.
SSMS-Setup-ENU_20181118072802.log
SSDT-Setup-ENU_20181118071717.log
>> Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel

I can see this error message across both logs, kindly check whether your login have local admin rights on that machine..
If so, then try installing with Run as Administrator mode.
If you are trying to install both SSMS and SSDT from a shared or network path, then copy those installers locally and then try installing with Run as Administrator mode to get rid of the above permission issues.
This all started with a failed upgrade to SQL 2017 from SQL 2016 due to VS C++ being installed. I just rolled back to the restore point prior to the upgrade attempt and tried the upgrade again after removing VS C++ 2017  and this time it was successful. I always copy all the install media locally and run as Administrator. I have no idea what VS C++ breaks.

Computer underwent a lobotomy.  I blew away the OS and started over.  Following these steps in this order worked.

1. SQL Server Installation with latest Service Pack.
2. SSMS installation
3. SSDT Installation with Visual Studio included.
4. Visual Studio Pro as required..
