I am trying to install SQL Server 2017 Express on Windows 10 and it is failing.
Here is the details it shows me after failure:

I also had this problem. I just repair the program Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable (x86) - 14.16.27029 from Add Remove Program
and setup run without any error.
I figured it out for my environment. If you have Visual Studio 2017, go back into the installer and install the "ATL C++" workload. Now when you go through the SQL Server 2017 install it will say C++ already installed and the installation will be successful.
First make sure you haven't installed SSMS before, First install SQLSERVER then SSMS. To resolve this error just uninstall MS visual C++ Redistributable v13/v15/v17 as they get installed already when you install SSMS before. Run the setup again it will continue installation.
I got the solution :
VC++ 2017
.VC++ 2015
from hereVC++ 2015
SQL Server 2017
SSMS 2017
The problem is likely that there's a newer version of the Visual C++ Redistributable than SQL Server is trying to install, e.g., from Visual Studio 2017. So another way to address this, if you don't need the latest C++ redistributable, is to go to Add or Remove Programs and uninstall all references to Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable. After this, the SQL Server installation should proceed without errors.
I had this error before all I did was(using Win10 x64):
Go to control panel-> Select Programs -> Programs and Features -> Search "c++" -> In the list select Visual C++ 2017(or your version error) Redistributable -> right click select "change" -> select repair.
After that I was able to continue and successfully installed SQL Server Express 2017.
Note: Some requires uninstall and reinstall again therefore if the above procedure doesn't work just try reinstalling it.
