These steps solved the problem:

  1. Use Task Manager to terminate vs_xxx.exe.
  2. Download the ISO from microsoft.com, and mount it (say, Drive E)
  3. Copy E:\packages\EspC (directory and files) to a temp location (say D:\Temp)
  4. [Step 3 is important, so don't skip it].
  5. In Windows Explorer, right click on "D:\Temp\EspC\LocalESPCui for en-us Dev12-x86_en-us.msi" and select Install.
  6. Run vs_xxx.exe again.

Try the download via the .iso instead of the web-based-download https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48146
