Hi Richard,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Usually the VS installation usually takes up about more than 2 hours,
Please run
Fix it tool to fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed.
About uninstalling VS, try with the
Visual Studio Uninstaller to
uninstall the Whole VS cleanly, you can run it a couple of times.
Tips:
To run install, uninstall or repair faster, please go to Windows Update to see whether there is the update to install, if there is, please install the update first. Since installing visual studio requires your windows updated to the latest. Disable your
anti-virus, and run the setup as administrator.
