Visual Studio Community (2015 RC and 2013) installer stopped working

Since two/three latest insider builds of Windows 10 (10166, 10240) I can't run Visual Studio installer anymore. It immediately stops.

Thank you for your interest in Windows 10 Technical preview.

The issue could be because of incompatibility. I suggest you to run the program in Compatibility mode and check if it works. Pleas follow the below link to know how to run the software in compatibility view.
