I have installed Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. Then tried to update Nuget Package Manager, which redirected me to download VS2013.5.exe from microsoft. But when I try to install the update I get the error:
None of the options worked. I even tried to locate the folder vsupdate_kb2829760 from the DVD, and could not find it. Some of the answers pointed out that WebDeploy is needed because of some SSL or Certificate issue. I downloaded and installed WebDeploy_amd64_en-US.msi but that did nothing to resolve the issue, even after I have restarted.
Some of the answers I found mention Visual Studio 2012 Update 4, which does not seem to be applicable to the update I am trying to run.
How do I resolve this issue?
PS: I also tried un-installing VS2013 Ultimate and installed VS2013 Professional, but got the same issue.
For anyone else experiencing this problem I found this link that contains all the Visual Studio 2013 downloads. I was able to download the full Update 5 disc image and install it that way.
I was experiencing the same error but with a different missing file. The issue was that I wasn't mounting the installer's iso properly, see this thread.
copy the "packages" folder from your install (mounted ISO or whatever) into the directory you are running the VS2013.4 (or version)

It seems I managed to completely break my Visual Studio 2015 setup by uninstalling Nuget Package Manager. I uninstalled it in order to fix its inability to update anything. Now, when I try to launch VS I get a plethora of error messages, but the most important one seems to be shown on the image below as its showing no matter what fix I attempt:
Here are the steps I took before I started seeing the above error:
I have renamed the Extensions folder found at the following path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE and installed Nuget Package Manager for Visual Studio 2015 from the microsoft website.
New extensions folder was created and when I tried to run the application with nothing else in it I would get the error message above once on VS launch and once on project load. When I moved old package folders from the old extensions folder I would get a lot more error messages related to the packages.
I also noticed there is an Extensions folder found at %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0, but renaming the folder to something else and just having blank folder did not help either. Also, I saw somewhere else a possible fix to an issue I thought was similar by removing contents of the folder located at: %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache, but that didn't help either. Now with all this trying I am getting to a point where fresh install might be an only option.
UPDATE:
I guess I managed to overcome this issue by opening up this project in Visual Studio 2017. It worked without any issues, though when I originally cloned the repository from GitHub via Visual Studio 2017 it didn't work. Having said all that, I don't think its an answer I was looking for, but at least I can continue working on this project.
During the setup of Visual Studio Community 2015 error popups saying that "A setup package is either missing or damaged". The package that missing is BuildTools_MSBuild.msi
How to fix this issue?
The error message seems to refer Visual Studio 2015 Build Tools, try to install them. This should solve your issue.
If the error is unexpectedly still present, try the offline installer: On the Download Page here you can choose between the online installer called vs_community.exe, which should be the one you're currently using. Below there is also vs2015.com_deu.iso avaliable. This should include all dependencies, I used it multiple times successfully at work, where the online installer is not working cause of a comany proxy.
If you already downloaded the ISO file of VS community 2015 with update 3, you need to verify the integrity of the ISO file, since the error message indicates a setup package is missing or damaged.
To check it, you can use the FCIV.exe tool: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2011/03/25/verify-the-iso-checksum-for-visual-studio-2010-service-pack-1-before-installing.aspx to check the SHA1 value of the ISO, the expected value comes from here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2015-iso-sha1-vs.aspx, any discrepancy means the ISO is corrupted.
Before the next installation, make sure windows update is up-to-date, temporarily disable any anti-virus software, clean up the %temp% folder, then re-run the installer as administrator.
I just did a fresh install of visual studio community edition.
When I start a new project and choose 'Blank App (Universal Windows)' I get this error during project creation:
Package Installation Error
Could not add all required packages to the project. The following packages failed to install from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\NETCoreSDK':
Microsoft.NetCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform.5.0.0: Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'AppTest'
Any ideas what the cause of this error can be?
I installed all the Universal Windows App Development Tools:
- Tools (1.3.2) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586)
- Emulators for Windows 10 Mobile (10.0.10586)
- Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10240).
What am i missing. How can I solve this issue?
Sometimes nuget fails to install the UniversalWindowsPlatform package. Search for "Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform" nuget package and install it.
This is not an answer, I have the exact same issue and I have found other people with the same issue on the web, no one has come up with a solution yet.
This is upon creation of 'any' UWP project type, blank, templated, VB, C#.
This dialog pops up:
I have already found and tried all of the steps mentioned by Jay Zuo. This is actually for a slightly different issue, the dialog is exactly the same apart from the bit, where we have ': Package restore failed.'
They are getting ': Solution is not opened or not saved'
None of the steps on that post help resolve this issue.
I have tried restoring VS, Reinstalling the Windows 10 SDK, resetting VS using the various options to reset user data, environment etc, made sure the path to the SDK files exists.
Nothing has worked and my VS2015 Community is utterly useless right now for working on UWP projects. This is a new Windows 10 / VS install (VS on insider fast PC has no issue at all but I need this one on production build).
I am posting as an answer as I do not have enough points to comment but starting a new thread seems daft as this is the exact same issue, I just want to add more detail to it.
I had the same probem after a clean install of OS/Updates/VS 2015 Update 3 + Xamarin update. I created a Universal 'Blank XAML App (Xamarin Forms Portable)' During creation I received same error.
In the Nuget Package Manager Console pick AppX.UWP, then run:
Install-Package Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform
Restart VS and create a new project, error does not come back.
So after much back and forth between myself and an MS rep on their forums I did actually manage to resolve this.
The forum link is here
I did actually need to reset my VS installation to try and get a clean install.
Then the actual error reared its head. In my case it was Nuget caching corrupt packages (these are not cleaned by a VS reinstall).
The link that helped me resolve it in the end can be found here on Stack Overflow
What helped me was to update the UniversalWindowsPlatform package in nuget to 5.1.0. Then all went smoothly the next time I created UWP project.
Upgrading the package Microsoft.NetCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform.5.2.2 worked for me...
After facing a similar problem with Microsoft.NetCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform.5.2.3. I found a solution which might help someone. I navigated to my ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\Microsoft.Net.CoreUWP,version=1.0.4 and ran the netfx_NETCoreUWP.exe. It did resolve my problem
Just as a reference...
My NugetPackage "'Microsoft.NETCore.UniversalWindowsPlatform" disappeared from my project references. It showed up as installed in NuGet. I uninstalled and re-installed without success. I restarted Visual Studio and re-installed and the package reappeared :-) !
A few days ago now I tried to install the C++ packages for my VS2015 installation, but it wouldn't install them so I uninstalled the entirety of VS2015 and then reinstalled, but since then I've been getting tons of errors when I start the software, they are like this:
The 'Visual Studio Component Enumerator Package' package did not load correctly. The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file: 'C:Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ActivityLog.xml'.
I've attached this log at the bottom of this post.
I get around 10 of these Package errors before I can finally load into the software, but then when I try to either open an existing C# project it says "Unavailable" or if I try to start a new C++ project it says
'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\VCWizards\default.vcxproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.vcxproj) is not supported by this version of the application. To open it, please use a version that support this type
I have tried the following to fix these issues, and every possible combination of these:
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Deleting my %appdata% in both Local and Roaming for VS 14.0
Deleting Program Files (x86)\Visual Studio 14.0
Repairing the installation
Uninstalling, cleaning registry, deleting everything I can find RE: Visual Studio and then reinstalling
devenv /setup, devenv /clearcache, devenv /uninstall /force and then reinstalling, every command line I've found anywhere.
I've been dealing with this issue for a few days and it has completely halted my development process and I'm unable to do anything with VS and it's gotten to the point where I'm extremely frustrated and not sure what to do next.
As far as I can tell there are a lot of packages missing from my installation, but Repairing my installation does not fix this. Is there a way to restore the packages?
Any assistance would be much appreciated, or is there a better forum to post this under?

Download the Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate package from Microsoft Volume Licensing site; extracted the ISO to a local folder and ran the EXE.
All goes well for a while, until it fails and says "Setup Failed!"
Then it displays the error message...
Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 VsGraphics Helper
Not a cryptographic message or the cryptographic message is not formatted correctly.
See screenshot # http://i.stack.imgur.com/stdYB.png
The fix for my issue was to browse the image and locate the installer package for the vsgraphics_helperbits.msi.
Location relative to ISO:
\Install\packages\vsgraphics_helper\amd64\vsgraphics_helperbits.msi
Just on internet on your pc and go to the below path then rename the amd64 to amd64888s
packages\vsgraphics_helper\amd64
Now run the setup and after getting package error just click on the download from internet option and continue the setup.
Have a happy coding
I encountered the same problem with the Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate With Update 5 ISO after extracting it even if the SHA-1 was correct.
Solution if your machine has access to internet : Simply delete the corrupted packages folders in packages\. The installer will prompt you to download them.
You can find the packages in error in the log given by the installer when the setup is complete (fail or success).
On my Windows 7, I had to delete these packages to avoid errors and warnings :
netfx_451mtpack
netfx_451mtpackcor
PerfTools_CORE
PortableLibrary
professionalcore
sptoolsDependencie
TFSObjectModel
TFSStoryboarding
VCDesigntime
vcRedistD11
vc_libraryDesktop
vsgraphics_helper
In bold the critical ones.
I just had this issue. Someone at another site suggested that it the ISO image file of the install was corrupt. We redownloaded it, and it installed correctly the second time.
Just make sure you have updated your windows. (Restart windows after update)
If you have the ISO then mount it to virtual drive and then run the installer. (Don't extract and run)
Hope above instructions will help.
Note: Follow same process for VS 2015 installation.
