i try to install new extension on visual studio 2017 community when i go to Menu Tool>>Extensions and Updates.. i got error "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {xxx} failed due to the following error: 8007007e The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)"

According to this thread, you should first execute "InstallCleanup.exe -full" command, and then run the Visual Studio Installer to repair your VS installation.
