This is a common recurring issue on Microsoft SSIS Projects development IDE on Visual Studio Community 2015 on Windows 10
I have to edit a script in a script task, I click on Edit Script, the window stays stuck and if I try to click anything else the message "Visual Studio is busy" appears
Even in other project packages containing scripts, I am unable to edit
I tried to click on reapir to fix the VSTAs, uninstall and reinstall but nothing changes

Whenever I attempt to build a project in Visual Studio 2010 or 2013, I get a Windows Installer popup that says "Please wait while Windows configures Visual Studio".
How can I make this popup go away?
Root Cause:
Windows thinks that the installation is broken because of a missing folder.
Proper Solution:
Uninstall and reinstall the affected versions of Visual Studio.
Workaround
Create the following empty folder
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath_GAC
The presence of this folder will stop the popup from appearing.
I got the Visual Studio Professional 2015 Update 3 and launched the executable (vs2015.3.exe) while Visual Studio was still running. I got the following "Setup warning" but thought that a computer restart was fine as long as I could work during the update.
Please close visual studio now to reduce the chance that a computer
restart will be required later
Visual Studio immediately started acting strange, loosing Intellisense among others. I decided to restart Visual Studio and was then met with the error:
Cannot run when setup is in progress
I then canceled the update and thought that I could install this update during the night instead. When I opened Visual Studio again and tried to load a project I got the following error:
Project '' could not be opened because the Visual C# 2015 compiler
could not be created. Please re-install Visual Studio.
I then opened Update 3 executable again to complete the update. I was met with this feature list and could not do anything:
Restarted the computer but was met with the same dialog. I then opened Visual Studio again and this time the project loaded but without Intellisense. Restarted Visual Studio and now the project would not load at all. I then deleted the content of these 2 folders and ran devenv /resetsettings
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache
I could now open the Visual Studio project normally again but I still could not get features when running the Update 3 executable. Is there anything else I can do or do I need to reinstall Visual Studio completely? I think it is really bad that the warning Microsoft gives is that a computer restart might be required when obviously the program cannot run in the background while updating.
Solved it by going to Control panel -> Programs and Features -> Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2015 with Updates. Click "Change" and then select "Repair".
I have installed Visual studio 2013 with update 2 but after successful installation When I try to create a new project , I am seeing blank window
But I am able to see some template when I try to click create a new website
I have tried resetting setting or installing template from visual studio command prompt.. even tried repairing it but no success
I have tried solution mentioned in below links but no success yet.
Missing project templates in "New Project" dialog box in Visual Studio 2013
Visual Studio 2013 new project templates appear empty
On windows machine hit Win + R (Run Command Dialog)
Type appwiz.cpl
find Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate (this may vary) then Dbl Click.
The Dialog Box Shown below appears.
The VS Repair Dialog Box
Click on repair and wait for the process to complete.
You may be prompted for a reboot.
Your New Project Dialog Box should be back as it was.
"No template information found. See the application log in Event Viewer for more details. To open Event Viewer, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Event Viewer."
That's the error message I get when I try to create a new project or solution.
How can this be resolved?
I used a solution presented to me from other sites. One of them said to reinstall templates.
I did the following:
In the command prompt I typed: cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE
Then I typed: devenv /installvstemplates
I took a minute but after it completed I opened Visual Studio and tried to create a new project. All my project templates were back in order, including additional templates like Workflow, SharePoint and Silverlight.
Link to other source
Start Menu --> Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 --> Visual Studio Tools. Right-click over the Visual Studio Command Prompt shortcut and make sure you select Run as Administrator. Once the VS Command Prompt comes up, execute the command without Quot,
"devenv /installvstemplates"
"devenv /resetsettings"
And that worked out.
Run Following command and it will restore templates.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE>devenv /installvstemplates
This may not match the original posters exact symptoms but I was seeing a blank screen after clicking Create a new project (VS 2019). Discovered that the install of Visual Studio had 'finished with errors' (paraphrasing there - now I've fixed the issue I can't see the exact error message) anyhow digging into it I found that the C++ redistributable had not installed (even though I'm a C# dev that's still important to VS!)
If I tried to install this as a standalone I got an Access Denied error (even if running as Administrator). Digging into the VS install logs I found a similar report.
Anyhow after a fair amount of Googling a few responses pointed to Virus software preventing the C++ redistributable from installing (in my case McAfee). Once that was removed a repair of VS resolved the issue :)
