Does anyone knows what these Errors means and what I can do?

Does anyone knows what these Errors means and what I can do?
The Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects extension is installed in VS2019 successfully in my side. So I suspect something is wrong with your VS environment. Please follow these steps to troubleshoot your issue:
1) delete all VS2019 component caches under C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_xxxxx\ComponentModelCache
2) disable any third party extensions under Extensions-->Manage Extensions to prevent any other extensions affect it.
3) do a repair in VS installer
4) update your VS2019 to the latest version and do not forget to update your OS version in case there are some fixes.

I installed visual studio community and then attempeted to install power query SDK
Here is an image of what happens.
It looks like you installed Visual Studio 2022. At this moment Power Query SDK works only with versions 2015, 2017 and 2019:
You should download an older version of Visual Studio from here or wait until Power Query SDK supports version 2022.

Why can't I install Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects?

So i'm trying to install this package to create Setup.exe for my project, but it goes with error:

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].
Run a repair of your Visual Studio installation.
If repair doesn't work, you might've moved your VS install and now it won't install anything.
This is because it "might" be finding the VS Installer in a directory OTHER than the standard one. Reinstall the installer itself, then try to install the extension or whatevs
Check if this path exists on your C drive. The "Packages" folder is used to save VS extensions which VS needs. I'd moved mine to F drive to save space. The error message didn't help me much.

I have ran a repair on Visual Studio, and even uninstalled and reinstalled.
I was able to create a project before the latest Visual Studio update. After the update, that project, which was still just the base demo, would not build. When I went to make a new project, Blazor was no longer there.

Can i install / use nuget if my documents folder is on a shared drive?

I see a number of issues on the nuget forum around not being able to install if your My documents folder is on a shared drive. If I don't have the flexibility to change this (locked down policy) is there any way i can use nuget?
Here is the error i get when trying to install it from the VS Extension Manager:
The system cannot find the path specified. (Exception from HRESULT:

I was facing a similar issue and the various suggestions about CasPol and loadFromRemoteSources failed; here's what worked for me (on Windows 7 sp1):
Uninstall the current NuGet extension
Close Visual Studio
Open up a registry editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT-USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\
The Personal key will show the shared folder as its value
Amend that value to a local drive location, e.g. C:\Temp\
Don't close regedit as you'll be changing it back in a moment
Open Visual Studio
it might complain about not finding certain settings, but I just clicked through the warnings
Install the NuGet extension
at least for me, this all happened smoothly in exactly the way that wasn't happening before
Quit Visual Studio
Revert the Personal registry value back to its previous state
Restart Visual Studio
... et voilà!
I don't tested this myself, but you can try to modify C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe.config file and include loadFromRemoteSources element:
<loadFromRemoteSources enabled="true"/>
at the location <configuration> \ <runtime>. Additionally you can try to verify that no other old version NuGet is installed. You should start Visual Studio 2010 shortcut with context menu and choose "Run as administrator" to be sure that you can uninstall it.
Additionally you can consider to add "FullTrust" to the share for the .NET
CasPol.exe -m -ag 1.2 -url file://ServerName/ShareName/* FullTrust
Try to set your Environment Variable Path in the MyComputer's System Properties > Advance tab
The only thing I know NuGet installs under "My Documents" is the following:
%LocalAppData\NuGet <-- here you usually find the default cache folder
%AppData\NuGet <-- here you find the machine-level nuget.config file
Can you check if these folders are there?
Just a theory, but if not, maybe you can create those folders yourself and retry the installation?
If you have redirected folders.... then something is borked.
Workaround:
Choose menu Start → All Programs → Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, and choose Run As Administrator. Type subst Z: "C:\Windows" and press Enter (Z is your redirected folder path).
Run your stuff again.
