I am having an issue running the installer. I downloaded the ODAC 18c zip from Oracle. Unzipped to folder "C:\ODAC Installer". When I click on setup.exe, a window comes up briefly, then nothing happens.
I also tried running setup.exe from a command prompt, and had the same result.
Just documenting this in case someone runs into this frustrating error.
The issue was due to the space in the folder name for my install folder above. I used my phone to take a video of the window popping up, then went through the video frame by frame. I saw a reference to "C:\ODAC", which is not my install folder.
I renamed my folder to C:\ODACInstaller (no space), and the setup wizard starts up.

When I download an extension within Visual Studio 2019 IDE, it downloads successfully and gives a message "changes will be scheduled and that the installs will begin when I close all windows". If I close all the open windows in IDE, nothing happens. Also after a restart, I do not see the extension installed.
changes will be scheduled and that the installs will begin when I
close all windows
To close all windows, try going File menu => Exit to close VS instead of clicking the X button.
Here're some other workarounds I found:
1.Download the extension from VS Marketplace and double-click the xx.vsix file to start installing manually.
2.If the popup doesn't show, find the xx.vsix in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp folder, run it there to install. See this.
Of course these are workarounds, however I can't reproduce same issue in my machine. So I guess maybe something is broken in VS or one unknown process interrupts the installation. I suggest we can make sure we're in Admin permission, run a VS repair(or Update VS to latest 16.3.6), and check if one process like cmd(found one similar issue whose cause is about cmd.exe) by task manager...
Hope all above helps if someone meets similar issue :)
I recently installed the latest version of Apex Complete on SSMS 2016. When I installed it, ssms would not start. It would open the window and get to the point where you normally be greeted with the prompt to connect to a db server, but would not open that prompt and not respond. Also the memory usage went up close to 1GB for SSMS. I then uninstalled the Apex Complete application and everything is working as it should.
I do have RedGate Sql Source control installed in SSMS, and I am curious if that could be the issue. Has anyone else ran into this issue? As I hadn't even connected to the db server, it shouldn't have any work to do at that point as far as parsing databases, so I'm not sure what the issue may be.
From a Support Engineer at Apex Sql:
I’d suggest that you perform a few steps to install a clean copy (remove leftovers) of ApexSQL Complete as it might solve the issue. Before you start, all running instances of SSMS and VS must be closed:
Uninstall ApexSQL Complete from Program and Features in Control Panel
Go to this location: %SystemDrive%\Program Files\ApexSQL and, if exists, delete the ApexSQL Complete folder
Go to this location: %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\ApexSQL and delete the ApexSQL Complete and ApexSQLAddinsLogs folders
After the 3rd step, download and install ApexSQL Complete from this link.
With this, my system is now working, but I do have a battle between the ssms code completion and the Apex, which I never had to deal with using the RedGate tools.
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2017 Community edition on my Dell laptop running Windows 10 64-bit. I download the community web installer and run the .exe file. The program shows it's extracting some files, then asks for admin permission, which I give yes, and then I only get an icon on the taskbar as shown in the picture below. It does not seem to run or anything. Even opening a second instance comes to the same dead end.
I have also tried offline installation by downloading the files via command prompt. But again after one stage, the process opens this installer.exe file and comes to the same dead end.
I am not sure if I am missing any other installations, or any other supporting libraries are corrupted. I have searched in other forums where they suggest the problem occurring due to multiple display setup or dual graphics adapter, but my setup is nothing like that. I have only Intel HD graphics running on my laptop monitor.
I need VS 2017 badly and any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Edit
I was able to run the visual studio installer somehow by changing the setup.exe to run in Windows 8 compatible setting. Now, after installing, if I run the VS 2017 application, I am getting the same kind of problem. I only get an icon on the taskbar, I dont get any VS 2017 Window.
After googling, I found a way to get the log file when the application starts. The xml document indicates 4 errors on startup. Looks like some components are unable to be loaded. I have no idea why. I am attaching the screenshot here of the log file showing the 4 errors. The entire log file - VS 2017 log file
I solved this problem of mine by re-installing the windows. I don't know what was the root cause of the problem earlier but I had other features like VPN not working properly in my OS so I figured that its high time I do it.
I'm having two issues; of which, both are the same...
I have VS2013 Update 3.
When I try and start the Update 4 package, the splash screen starts, then immediately goes away.
I'm having a similar version with trying to install the initial version of VS2012 (since 2013 is incompatible with BizTalk unless I have BizTalk, Update 2).
I have tried everything I know and read everything I can on it. I have and HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook. I have updated the video driver; downloaded and saved the files to try and run from them; tried downloading and extracting ISO files from MSDN.
Nothing works!
Can somebody please help me be able to install versions of Visual Studio?
Note that I can install other software programs with no problem. It's just Visual Studio that is giving me the problem.
I can also download Nuget extensions and have them installed as well without any issues.
It's just the actual Visual Studio application download or Update version of that application that can't be started....
I had to run the package by:
Mount the ISO image as a virtual DVD
Open the disk, right-click VS2013.4.exe, and "Run As Administrator".
Launch Task Manager and watch till the process was done.
The splash screen does either freeze or vanish, but the install is actually running in the background. In fact, I think that in one case it never completely exited (you will see more than one msiexec instance running), but in the end it did install. You can check the install log to be sure.
I've gotten sick of having multiple Visual Studio Express Editions installed, so I decided to get the Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition... Luckily I haven't yet bought it.
I downloaded the VS2005 Pro Trial from microsoft's website (trust me, this was a hard to find link). I am encountering an error, however:
Error 1311.Source file not found: z:\vs\_186_RTL_x86_enu_CRT_Objs.cab. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.
[Retry] [Cancel]
I checked, double-checked, and triple-checked that the file DOES exist.
What I did was download the 2800MB .img file from microsoft's website, used microsoft's VCdControl program to mount it at mount point Z:. It does exist, and all the other files copied from the virtual disk just fine. What is causing this?
P.S.: If you're wondering why I am going through the trouble of using VS2005, it's because I'm stuck using windows on a 300MHz processor / 256MB ram system, running windows 2000 pro. 2005 is the last VS product year that works. Anything newer has either too high requirements, or does not support Windows 2000 any longer.
Thank you so much for the help, in advance.
(Erm, my computer just froze so it's now rebooting. Hopefully it continue where it left off... The screen, keyboard and everything locked me out entirely. Maybe the graphics card got nullified, there was blue lines at the top of the screen. Power button, ftw!)
UPDATE: Due to having to hard reboot, I had to re-start the VS2005 installation. It appears to be installing the Visual Studio 2005 component from scratch again, so it may or may not work this time. If anyone happens to know what caused the original error, it would be much appreciated if you'd post. Thank you! :)
UPDATE 2: Failed, again. Same error as above, missing that darned cab file. It's there, I can see it! >.<
UPDATE 3: I copied the "missing" cab file onto my hard drive from the virtual cd, and tried to extract it myself using a utility called "cabextract". It also claims the file cannot be found, yet it is clearly right there!
UPDATE 4: It appears more than one of my cab files are corrupt. I'm md5sum-ing all the files and matching them up with shsmith's md5sum list to determine how corrupt it is. :(
Are you able to copy that file to your local drive? Maybe there is an error reading the contents rather than finding the file.
Copy the VS folder from the image to your local drive and install from there.
There are a number of pages that discuss similar issues:

Do you have all the service packs and windows updates installed? I have a windows 2000 VM and ran the default install of VS2005 and it completed without any problem. But I had just installed IE6 and then all the available windows updates (had to download IE6 to get WU working).
What is the MD5 of your copy of that cab? Maybe your image is corrupt. Here is the MD5 of my copy:
