SQL Server Data Tools 2015 installation error
I'm trying to install SQL Server Data Tools - Visual Studio 2015, but I keep getting an "Unspecified error".
The log file is at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3CEKzS2Sw8OODNJOXZJVGRWQlU.
I already have Visual Studio Professional 2015 installed.
I want to install SSDT 2015 because my databases were recently migrated from SQL Server 2008 R2 to 2014, and I need to use SSIS. Previously, I used SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio to create my DTS packages, which I still have installed to access old packages.
I've tried to find a resolution to my problem but everything seems to be about VS 2013 installation issues.
Please let me know if I need to provide more information.
Here's the relevant section from the linked log file.

Answer
neera's answer did not worked form me. Another possible solution to the connection problem ('Failed to send request to URL') is to install SSDT from a .iso, but this is not trivial when working in a virtual machine.
Diagnosis: During the installation process of SSDT, a few components are supposed to be downloaded (i.e. the link in your log file represents one of those). Your virtual machine attempts to download such files through Internet Explorer (IE). However, by default the IE Enhanced Security Option is enabled. As a result, this stops you from downloading the required tools.
Solution: Log in your virtual machine, launch "Server Manager", select "Local Server" on the left, turn off "IE Enhanced Security Configuration".
