Visual Studio Installer is crashing. I cannot use the normal way of reporting a problem because when I try to do it via Visual Studio or Visual Studio Installer they crash. When the crash happens, I get a dialog box that says something like one of these:

setup.exe - Application Error The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434352) occurred in the application at location 0x00007FFB9BF45369.

feedback.exe - Application Error The exception unknown software exception (0xe0434352) occurred in the application at location 0x00000000756DB702.

This is preventing me from updating to version 17.14.16.
