Help with Visual Studio Installation

Question

I tried to upgrade my 2015 Community edition update 1 installation to 2015 community edition update 3, which failed with an couple of errors, so I uninstalled and tried a full installation via the web download. However it is now completing with the following messages:

Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 - Incorrect Function

Microsoft NuGet - Visual Studio 2015 - Package Failed

Microsoft Visual Studio Connected Serve - Package Failed

Azure AD Authentication Connected Service - Package Failed

Microsoft Azure Mobile Mobile Services Connected Service - Package Failed

Microsoft Azure Storage Connected Servide - Package Failed

Microsoft Visual StudioOffice365 - Package Failed

When I attempt to launch Visual Studio it now says that the installation is incomplete and to do a repair or reinstallation. Has anyone else had this and how was it resolved?

Hi ju90,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Refer to the error message, I found a similar issue here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33855177/multiple-errors-installing-visual-studio-2015-community-edition/33881460 and have a try with the following methods to troubleshot your issue:

TimVdG: After the failed install, you should repair the 2015 vc redistributables and restart the visual studio installer.

Björn Blissing: In my case it was msvcp140.dll that was installed as a 64bit version in the Windows/SysWOW64 folder. Just uninstalling the redistributables did not remove the file, so I had to delete it manually. Then I was able to install the x86 redistributables again, which installed a correct version of the dll file. And, voilà, the installation of VS2015 finished without errors.

Baraa Al-Tabbaa:

1- go to control panel -> uninstall programs -> uninstall all Microsoft C++ 2015 Redistributable

2- delete those files if they still exist manually:

c:\windows\System32\vcruntime140.dll

c:\windows\SysWOW64\vcruntime140.dll

3- download and install: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

after that rerun the installation of Visual Studio, and hope that error won't show again.

David: Go to Control Panel—Programs and Features and right-click the VS 2015 item and select Change-Repair.

jcgarlinghouse: go to C:\Users\<your users name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft and remove/delete all subfolders, after that repair VS.

 enden: 9 workarounds and for more detail information, please see the above thread link.

If the above methods not work, you can use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.zip under %temp% folder, then upload the file to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.

Best regards,

Sara
