If you already downloaded the ISO file of VS community 2015 with update 3, you need to verify the integrity of the ISO file, since the error message indicates a setup package is missing or damaged.
To check it, you can use the FCIV.exe tool: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2011/03/25/verify-the-iso-checksum-for-visual-studio-2010-service-pack-1-before-installing.aspx to check the SHA1 value of the ISO, the expected value comes from here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2015-iso-sha1-vs.aspx, any discrepancy means the ISO is corrupted.
Before the next installation, make sure windows update is up-to-date, temporarily disable any anti-virus software, clean up the %temp% folder, then re-run the installer as administrator.
The error message seems to refer Visual Studio 2015 Build Tools, try to install them. This should solve your issue.
If the error is unexpectedly still present, try the offline installer: On the Download Page here you can choose between the online installer called vs_community.exe, which should be the one you're currently using. Below there is also vs2015.com_deu.iso avaliable. This should include all dependencies, I used it multiple times successfully at work, where the online installer is not working cause of a comany proxy.
