I downloaded the visual studio 2019 community installer and ran it. It ran successfully but instead of opening the visual studio installer when it completed it just closed. I located the visual studio installer 'setup.exe' (under C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/Installer) and ran it. It opens the installer but instead of allowing me to select tools to install it just has 2 empty tabs labeled 'installed' and 'available' and a side bar that shows developer news.
I don't have any antivirus or firewall running. I uninstalled every version of visual studio I had in case the installer was assuming I already have VS2019. I updated windows and my drivers.
EDIT:
I had a hunch that I might find something out by using 'setup -h' in command prompt. It appears that it may be possible to install vs2019 by using the right tags.
I guessed
setup install --productid Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Community --channelid VisualStudio.15.Release
might work but the installer says "
A product matching the following parameters cannot be found:
channelId: VisualStudio.15.Release
productId: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Community
"
If you know what the right tags are that might be an adequate solution.
Please try to reinstall it:
1) run cmd as Administrator and then type:
"%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe" -full
2) restart vs_installer again.

I am trying to install Visual Studio 2019. But It gives this error:
PackageId:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.WMIProvider;PackageAction:Install;ReturnCode:1722;
How can I fix this error?
Thanks
Finally I installed Visual Studio 2019 community edition.
It was about installation driver issue.
So double check regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion default installation path for windows application.
So I mean my ProgramW6432Dir's value was only C:\. I changed it to C:\Program Files
check regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
default installation drivers paths. If it is not correct fix it.
Restart the windows OS.
Uninstall Visual Studio Installer and Visual Studio 2019.
Retry installation process.
For me, one of these answers helped: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1038410/packageidmicrosoftvisualstudiosetupwmiproviderpack-11.html
The one with putting in msiexec at the command prompt. You may have to change the version number, though.

Firstly, go to https://open-vsx.org/ and download the extension that you want.After downloading you will get VSIX file.Final step: open visual studio and go to EXTENSIONS.Click option icon(•••) and find and click (install from VSIX) and then choose your downloaded .vsix file. Done.

Please try these steps to troubleshoot your issue:
1) delete all vs componment caches under C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_xxxxx\ComponentModelCache and do not forget to delete all the files under C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp
2) disable any third party extensions under Extensions-->Manage Extensions to prevent any other extensions affect it.
3) run VS as administrator and then install the extension again.
4) do a repair in VS Installer
5) If your VS2019 is not the latest version, please update it to the latest version and please update your OS at the same time.
In addition, if all the steps does not work, l suggest you chould reinstall VS2019 and you would better install VS2019 on the default system disk. And there is a similar issue.
After you uninstall VS2019, please check if you have this:%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe.
If so, please launch it from an admin command prompt with a -full param: InstallCleanup.exe -full
If not, please manually delete the %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer folder
Then relaunch vs_enterprise.exe and then install VS2019.
I am trying to install Visual Studio Professional 2017 RC on Windows 10 but the installer reports:
A product matching the following parameters cannot be found:
channelId: VisualStudio.15.Release
productId: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Professional
Is this fixable?
I had the same issue and the following has helped me. A clean-up and removal of vs and installation folder was not enough in my case.
Here are the steps I've taken:
uninstalled Visual Studio (and other Visual Studio installations)
run C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\InstallCleanup.exe -full"
removed all the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio" folders
removed "C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Visual Studio\ folder
restarted system
In the end I think removing of Program Data location did the final trick. I had to run a repair after the successful installation to make VS Extensions work.
I previously installed VS 15 Release and removed it. I had the same issue and fixed it by removing installer folder from here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\ Installer
Please follow the cleanup steps and retry your VS install
See if you have this file on your machine: "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe"
If so, please launch it from an admin command prompt with a -full param:
InstallCleanup.exe -full
If not, please manually delete the "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer” folder
Relaunch the newly downloaded vs_enterprise.exe (or vs_professional.exe or vs_community.exe…)
Allow the first step to install the installer
Once the installer comes up and you can see workload choices (.net desktop and the like), close it
Go launch the same InstallCleanup.exe to clean up old build of VS
Then relaunch vs_enterprise.exe and install VS.
The problem that I had was because I had a Visual Studio 2017 layout and I wanted to make a Visual Studio 2019 layout in the same directory.
If you are creating a new offline installation layout on top of an old offline installation layout, you need to delete every file inside the layout folder (And only the layout folder not sub-directories).
This way the new (channel) information will be replaced and installation goes without errors.
I've both VS 2012 and VS 2013 installed on my computer. The problem is that when I download an VSIX-File and open it with the Visual Studio version selector the file gets opened by VS but instead of installing it. VS opens the file as if it was an unknown binary format.
The attached image shows how VSIX-files are opened (happens with every file ... this is just an example):
I faced the same issue. Just use the VSIXInstaller to install the extension.
You can open "Developer Command Prompt for VS2012" tool in Start -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 -> Visual Studio Tools. On the console, run the below command:
VSIXInstaller <path to vsix file>
Open "Developer Command Prompt for VS2015" as administrator.
Type VSIXInstaller.exe vsixFilePath
Note that this way wouldn't work with me and gives me "Path to vsix file 'G:\Roslyn' is invaild or you don't have required access permissions". To solve this you need to put the path in a double quote like this:
VSIXInstaller.exe "G:\Roslyn SDK.vsix"
I got into a weird situation where in a fresh install of W10 and VS2015 Community, the Player Framework vsix installation won't start, either by dbl click or from command prompt using VSIxInstaller.exe, and would show no message at all. The solution was to open an elevated command prompt (run Developer Command Prompt for VS2015 as administrator) and then type VSIXInstaller.exe worked.
I am not clear whether you want to install or just view the contents of VSIX. If you want to install the extension, you just need to double click it and it will install (Do not try to open it with VS Version selector). If you want to see what is inside VSIX, it is basically an archive. So either try to use program like 7-zip to open it else, rename .vsix to .zip and then unzip it.
Further, there is also a chance that you have wrongly associated vsix files to be opened with Visual Studio. In such a case it will open in Visual Studio any case.
Finally, if you have wrongly associated the vsix to open with Visual Studio, try installing the extension using VSIXInstaller.exe found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe
To add to the other answers, if the VSIX files either doesn't have an associated program to open with or opens with the wrong application, selecting the VSIXInstaller.exe as the associated commands re-enables the ability to double-click and directly install it (without the need to do it via commandline).
I faced a similar issue when I first installed VS 2017. This is what worked for me.
Resolution:
Restart VS 2017.(I hadn't restarted it before installation)
Install it from Tools->Extension & Updates.Search for "Perforce" and install.
I double clicked on this and it installed just fine.
Couldn't do it on VS2013 through the extensions dialog.
for me the problem was the extension InstallerProjects was on network server so I had to copy it to my machine (local) and it worked
I installed the CTP of the multi-device-hybrid apps and the new app templates didn't show up in VS. The add-in also didn't show up in the Extensions & Updates list in VS. Trying to Uninstall it claimed to work instantly, but didn't uninstall anything.
This is an odd situation and should generally not occur. It seems the VSIX file got copied over but was not installed correctly.
Here's the work around (run using an administrative command prompt):
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common \IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe" /admin /uninstall:MultiDeviceHybridApps..db151788-9b27-49db-a5e2-d25a2653eb83
This removed the broken entries for the VSIX from the previous failed attempt to install. Following this, issue another command:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\VSIXInstaller.exe" "%localappdata\Microsoft\MultiDeviceHybridApps\Microsoft.VisualStudio.MultiDeviceHybridApps.vsix" /admin
At this point, the VSIX should be installed successfully and the templates will become available in Visual Studio.
