When I download getting set up completed with warnings that couldn't install Microsoft.visualstudio.aspnet45.feature.

Try these steps：

1) make sure that Windows Update option turns on and if there is any update, please update it.

2) run CMD as Administrator and then input the following command: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

and

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

Note that it might take several minutes for the command to complete.

3) Run the following command: sfc /scannow and sc config trustedinstaller start=auto

4) reboot the system.

5) turn off any any anti-virus or any anti-malware

6) then Repair the install from the VS Installer

For this problem, you should shut down any WindowsFormsApp1.exe Instance on Task Manager and then restart it just as dxiv said.
