Error: VS Shell installation has failed with exit code 1638 - 2016 installation error.
Not sure what could be the reason.
Complete uninstallation of sql server 2016 and related components and reinstall did not resolve the issue. It gives validation error same as above and gets cancelled.
Please advise.

I'd suggest delving into the installation logs to look for a more detailed error message.
The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

I would try a repair on the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable from Control Panel - select change and then repair. The VS Shell errors are often related to issues with the the C++ redistributables.
