Okay  so if you re on the same boat as me and found that none of these solutions helped you  you most likely have a problem where NuGet  or any of those packages  is failing to install from the VSIX program due it calling a method that doesn t exist on your computer  not sure what  dll it s referencing   so try this out from the following post    Delete all instances of Visual Studio 2015- this includes all registry values  Install a version of Visual Studio older than Update 1  RTM version    this is available here  If you still get an error  try repairing just the Visual Studio 2015 program  This is what ultimately fixed it for me     Hope this helped someone out  It s really frustrating that the installer s log file doesn t help at all  I had to look at the log file specific to NuGet  and that s where I noticed the error      The installation was unable to install the extension to all the   selected products  For more information  click on the install log link   at the bottom of the dialog       Method not found   System Collections Generic IEnumerable 1   System Security Cryptography X509Certificates X509ChainStatus   Microsoft VisualStudio ExtensionManager IInstallableExtension get InvalidCertificateInformation

If no other option in this thread works  you can try the steps given in this guide  see below   https   blogs msdn microsoft com heaths 2015 07 14 how-to-install-visual-studio-to-another-directory-when-a-pre-release-is-installed    Download and install http   psmsi codeplex com  Note  new site https   github com heaths psmsi  These are general-purpose PowerShell cmdlets I created for all sorts of development and troubleshooting operations for Windows Installer-based installs  You do not need to elevate to install them  though if you pre-elevate you can install them per-machine  by default they are per-user   Open an elevated PowerShell command prompt and run the following to discover which products have installed the key shared component   get-msicomponentinfo   777CBCAC-12AB-4A57-A753-4A7D23B484D3     get-msiproductinfo If you   re fine with uninstalling all the listed products  especially given that you   re probably going to install RTM next   run the following   get-msicomponentinfo   777CBCAC-12AB-4A57-A753-4A7D23B484D3     get-msiproductinfo   uninstall-msiproduct -properties IGNOREDEPENDENCIES ALL   Personally  this worked for me  I forgot that I had some old files laying around on an old drive  which appearantly later on messed something up in the registry  I think      Anyway  with everything clean  it installed just fine   Note  if you have issues with importing the PSMSI-tools in PowerShell  check this out  https   msdn microsoft com en-us library dn568022 aspx  In summary  you may need to run the command  Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned to be allowed to import the software   Hope this helps someone in need

I ve faced the same problem with Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Update 1  The problem in my case was  the installer somehow could not install Visual C   Redistributable x86 version  When I checked Add Remove Programs only x64 version was installed   If that s the case for you  you can get the missing redistributable package from here  or you can find the version appropriate to you through a google search

For some reason the installation broke while in process  After this  nothing helped and repair unistall only produced package errors  What finally helped was this thing  https   github com Microsoft VisualStudioUninstaller  after I ran it a couple times  it didn t remove everything on the first pass   es  I was finally able to start a fresh installation and it worked

After the failed install you have to repair the 2015 vc redistributables and restart the visual studio installer   The redistributable installer is messed up  it mixes up 64bit and 32bit dll s  You can check if you have this problem by looking at the vcruntime140 dll file size  Search your windows folder for vcruntime140 you should see 4 files  64 and 32 bit in both release  amp  debug versions   If any files have the same size  you need to run a repair on the redistributable   On my system the 32-bit dll is 83 3KB  the 64 bit is 86 6KB  release versions

My problem did not go away with just reinstalling the 2015 vc redistributables  But I was able to find the error using the same process as in the excellent blog post by Ezh  and thanks to Google Translate for making me able to read it    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  voil    the installation of VS2015 finished without errors

As described from other answers  but with steps   1- go to control panel -  uninstall programs -  uninstall all Microsoft C     year   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

I encountered the identical issue  After many tries I SOLVED it and located the MY ROOT CAUSE  I keep my try path here but you can skip to the end if you want    I want to point it out that BE VERY CAREFUL WITH enden s solution 2  Some other programs may cache installation packages in the C  ProgramData Pacakges Cache folder  If you remove data from that folder  you may jeopardize other programs installation uninstallation   I encountered this multiple failures during install VS2015  And after I remove all the content from the C  ProgramData Pacakges Cache  both my VS2013 and VS2015 stuck in the Programs and Features window and I cannot change repair uninstall them   To fix the change repair uninstall failure  I have to go to below 2 registry keys   First of all   BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING TO IT       HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE WOW6432Node Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Uninstall        HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Uninstall    And remove every key whose InstallLocation points to the C  ProgramData Pacakges Cache AND whose DispalyName looks related to Visual Studio 2013 2015  this may requrie some experience intuition    Then  the stuck items of VS2013 2015 in Program  amp  Features window are gone  And now I am able to re-install the VS2013   But I still cannot install VS2015 with the installer  The error is still as below     But at least I can change repair uninstall VS2015 in the Prgram  amp  Features window  So I choose to repair it  But the repair doesn t work  I still got the same error as above   Then I uninstalled the failed VS2015 and tried to repair the VC  2015 redist as said in TimVdG s marked answer  And then reinstall VS2015 with the installer   Still failed    Then I tried Brian Swart s solution to install VS2015 without Update 1  But it still failed with TeamExplorer  I checked the log and found this      MSI  s   48 A0   14 53 34 997   Windows Installer installed the   product  Product Name  Team Explorer for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015    Product Version  14 0 23102  Product Language  1033  Manufacturer    Microsoft Corporation  Installation success or error status  1603    And I googled a bit about 1603 error  Now I am trying to add full control to  the C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 14 0 folder and try again   Still doesn t work   Some refs   https   www online-tech-tips com computer-tips remove-program-from-add-remove   https   support microsoft com en-us help 247501 how-to-manually-remove-programs-from-the-add-remove-programs-list  https   superuser com questions 401511 how-to-remove-a-broken-program-from-the-programs-and-features-list-in-windows-7             The Final Solution  lt            So in my scenario  it has nothing to do with the VC2015 redistributables    My root cause is the incorrect  NET version number in the registry   On a 64bit Windows   NET version is stored in 2 places in registry      HKLM Software Microsoft NET Framework Setup NDP v4 Full Version      HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE  WOW6432Node   Microsoft NET Framework   Setup NDP v4 Full Version   Below is what my box has    Note that leading character v in the Version  I don t know who put it there  But once I removed it  my VS2015 with Update 3 can be installed smoothly     So you may wonder how could I find this  Well  since I couldn t install VS2015  I turned to VS2017  But after intalled VS2017 successfully  I couldn t launch it  It says this     So I decided to check the installed  NET version and saw the interesting difference above  Once I removed the leading v  VS2017 can be started   But anyway  I still don t know who put the v there    Shame on it   Last but not the least   Please also make sure the Release  Version registry key value are consistent and can work with your Windows version  Refer to below    NET and Windows version dependencies   how to determine the installed  NET version   Windows 10 version info  Add some more findings   After I finished this install sequence  VS2017 -  VS2015 -  VS2013  I noticed that there s even no VC  2015 redist on my box     Because both VC   2015 and VC  2017 redists are 14 xxx  So having the higher version is enough  When I try to manually install VC   2015 redist  it says this

Success    I had similar problems and tried re-installing several times  but no joy  I was looking at installing individual packages from the ISO and all of the fiddling around - not happy at all   I finally got it to  install  by simply selecting  repair  rather than  uninstall  in control panel   programs  It took quite a while to do the  repair  though  In the end it is installed and working   This worked for me  It may help others - easier to try than many other options  anyway

Also you can find log files in  Temp  folder about exact problem  in my case the problem was with symlinks   if with  fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation  you get message    is currently controlled by group policy  check HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SOFTWARE Policies Microsoft Windows Filesystems NTFS or simply search throug registry for  Symlink

This is a very elusive problem  No  simple  solution looks to apply  I tried -all- the previous options with the same negative result  multiple packages errors  Resorted to install VS 2013  success no issues  then VS 15  Preview  success no issues  btw very cool   Finally what works for me   was to install the very basic first  Visual Studio 2015  with -NO- updates  During the installation  setup automatically downloaded  Update 2  and the installation finished successfully

This was killing me as well  I must have re-installed visual studios a thousand times before Stack Overflow helped me  First is began with a Windows update problem While installing Visual Studio 2015 the Update flagged me that it needed - the update KB2919355  Went to the Windows update and saw several failed updates  No matter how I tried did not work  The Error code that were cited was 80070543 did some research found nothing worked until I encountered this advice http   www dell com support article us en 04 SLN293803 en Having followed those instructions did the Windows update again and it worked  Went back to to do the Visual Studios update got the same error again  So I decided to research KB2919355 and was frustrated until I found this site http   www eightforums com windows-updates-activation 45441-update-kb2919355-finally-successful-after-multiple-fails html  followed the instruction precisely about loading other updates and they worked  KB2919355 was finally updated so I tried again and a different error came up involving language packs     Fatal Installation error     After going through a series of frustrating reinstallations  uninstallations light broke through of the advice of that came this  the above  Stack Overflow entry    repairing the C   Redistributables    which involves  Going to Start -  Control Panel -  Programs and Features  Right mouse-clicks on each the redistributables  from the bottom up  and click repair for all  If any ask for a    Restart    do it immediately right then and there  Then I did the Visual Studio installations    finally after days and days of trying    it worked

I spent a whole week trying to solve this issue  What finally did it for me was disabling my anti-virus programs  Before I stumbled upon my solution  I went through a lot of other solutions  I thought  I d post some of the solutions that might prove to be useful for those who are still having trouble with installing Visual Studios 2015 Community Edition   Solution 1  Minimal Installation     Try installing with minimal extra features  Run the Visual Studios 2015 installation  then click  Custom  and on the following screen  uncheck everything and proceed with the installation    Solution 2  Delete installation cache     Perhaps the installation failed due to corrupt files in the cache  When installation fails  remove all Visual Studio cache related items and do a full re-installation  To do this  run command prompt  Run as Administrator  and type   cd  programdata package cache   then press enter  Then type  del  f  s   msi  f  s   cab  then press enter     Now run the Visual Studios 2015 installation again    Solution 3  Delete temporary file data stored on your computer     Open up File Explorer and go to  C  Users  Your User Account Name  AppData Local Microsoft   Then delete the following folders  VSCommon  VisualStudio  Blend  VsGraphics  ApplicationInsights  vshub  Team Foundation  Web Platform Installer and MsBuild  After this  run the Visual Studios 2015 Installer again    Solution 4  Enable all four evaluations of Symbolic links     First  check to see if all four evaluations are enabled  Open up command prompt  Run as Administrator  and type  fsutil behavior query SymlinkEvaluation   All 4 evaluations should be enabled  If they aren t then type  fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation L2L 1 R2R 1 L2R 1 R2L 1   Once those 4 evaluations are set  clear up temporary files and clear installation cache  see Solution 2 and Solution 3  then run the Visual Studios 2015 installation again    Solution 5  Repair the Redistributables     Perhaps  the problem is that your VC-redistributables are faulty and are in need of repair  To do so  run  Add Remove programs  and look for all the x86 and x64 versions of Microsoft Visual C    Year  Redistributable  Version   Then press Change for each of them and when the uninstallation screen pops up  press Repair  I did it for all the versions I had previously installed  2012  2013 and 2015  Therefore  I repaired 6 of them  2012  x86 and x64  2013  x86 and x64  2015  x86 and x64     Solution 6  Check to see if x86 and x64 sizes are the same     As mentioned by others in this discussion  do a search for vcruntime140 dll and see if the x86 and x64 versions  They should NOT have the same size  If they do  see solution 5 or you can manually delete them     Be cautious when deleting files from the Windows folder   and re-install them  from here  https   www microsoft com en-ca download details aspx id 48145    Also do the same check for msvcp140 dll  I personally did a search for these files in  C  Windows SysWOW64 and C  Windows System32  and compared the files from the two folders  Moreover I also checked for differences of vcruntime140 dll and msvcp140 dll in  C  Program Files Microsoft Visual Studio 14 0  and  C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 14 0    Solution 7  Temporarily disable all Anti-Virus Protection and Firewalls      For me  it turned out that the problem stemmed from having ByteFence Anti-Malware and Norton Security with Backup protection  I disabled real-time protection from ByteFence Anti-Malware and I disabled Auto-Protect and Smart Firewall from Norton Security with Backup  Before I ran the installation again  I repeated Solution 2 and Solution 3  scroll up   And Voila  installation was successful  But how did I find out that the Anti-Virus Program was the culprit  Read Solution 8     Solution 8  Carefully monitor Visual Studios Installation Process for Intrusions     I resorted to this solution in order to find out the problem  After reading Ezh s article  I decided to download Process Monitor v3 2 and Process Explorer v16 1  I was carefully monitoring 3 programs side-by-side  Process Monitor  Process Explorer and the Visual Studios 2015 Installer  and I watched very closely all the processes that the installer was invoking  Then I noticed that when VSIXInstaller exe process came on and attempted to install something from a remote server  it kept failing over and over again because my Anti-Virus Program would suddenly appear on screen  as a process  and decide to hog block some important DLL files that VSIX installation needed  Temporarily disabling the anti-virus program solved my issue    Solution 9  Complete Windows format and re-installation     If all else fails  and you are really desperate to get Visual Studios 2015 working  I suggest a complete Windows re-installation  At this point  the problem is most likely some type of interference intrusion with a program which you do not know of
