Trying to install 'Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3' using the .exe installer provided for the visualstudio.com website. I also tried the standard version (without the update).
The black/grey installer opens, the green bar moves along the progress bar once and it crashes. I get a white pop-up window saying 'Microsoft Visual Studio Community with Updates has stopped working'.
I can't seem to find any other situations like mine on Google or StackOverflow.
I have Visual Studio 2017 also installed. Why do I need 2015 too? I'm helping (trying) another student who is using VS2015 and has problems - however, I can't even get it downloaded!
Thanks in advance for any help.
One possible solution is to not worry about 2015 and just help him by using 2017. It's hard to tell for sure if this will resolve your issue, as there is not info on exactly what you are trying to help him with.
If you go this route, I would save out the solution file just after loading it with _vs2017 tacked on the end, or something similar, so that you do not overwrite the info in his solution file. (Edit: The purpose of this is just in case it breaks something for him - it may not be a problem, he may be able to load your 2017 solution file fine). I've moved fluidly between 2017 Community and 2015 Express or Community with some solutions without a problem.
I do realize there are some issues that this may not be a solution for, but it should be an option, especially for those that are more language-based. The main problems with this solution would be if other student is using features or libraries that are deprecated in 2017, or directly struggling with getting VS 2015 features to work.
Go to control Panel -> Programs and features -> turn on windows features ,
Disable .net 3.5
check for windows update,
Then restart the system. Now it will work . 100% working .
Have fun.

I recently upgraded to Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 (version 16.0.3) and I have been having serious problems with autocomplete. It is so slow that I type faster than it is able to update, and frequently after I type out a complete and correct language keyword such as foreach the autocomplete drop down won't appear until moments before I press space which in many cases causes the keyword foreach to be corrected to some nonsense without warning.
This hasn't been a problem for me with any other version of Visual Studio going back to Visual Studio 97, and it is driving me nuts. I have no addons installed.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if so, what if anything were you able to do to resolve it?
You should open window defender then add exclusion folder for visual studio 2019.
I also add my folder source code.
Hope this help to who need
Hello I found that checking out this checkbox speeds ups VisualStudio InteliSence a lot...enter image description here
Upgrading to 16.1.4 seems to have resolved the problem.
I've googled till I'm blue in the fingers trying to find a resolution to this issue. I've tried several things but nothing helps. I've got Xamarin and Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. I had everything working on a previous PC a few months back. Now I have a new one and am just now getting Xamarin set up. I have a few demo and self hacked solutions I was working with. Now all of them give me the above error message. I've made sure the namespace is correct in all modules. The solutions are really small. Nothing fancy at all. Basically Hello World stuff so I'm at a failure to figure out why it fails now. Case in Point: The Hello World that is failing is one HelloWorld.cs file and a few PNGs in the Resources tree along with a main.xml.
If anyone could shed some light I would be most grateful.
I just updated (through VS) Xamarin. Now the older solutions I had won't load. If I create a new solution, I've got the same Resource does not exist error. Xamarin appears to be broken. I've worked with it in the past and had no problems like these.
I resolved it. My Xamarin version was not updated. I updated it by going to
Programs & Features => Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015, click on change/modify. Now in Visual Studio Popup under Cross Platform Mobile Developement update the C#/.NET (Xamarin v__). After updating this error gets resolved.
For me I didn't required to install Visual Studio 2017.
Also Thanks Martin for your suggestion, your answer can also workaround but it is not necessary to install 2017 just need to upgrade Xamarin version to work with VS 2015.
This bug currently arises with Visual Studio 2015. See this thread and this thread on the Xamarin Forums. Apparently the only workarounds now is to install Visual Studio 2017 or downgrade to older version of Xamarin. There is also an opened bug report for this, so it hopefully should get resolved soon.
I have recently installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on my laptop.
Since the time of installation I have been facing a few issues.
I was not able to even access the New Project option itself.
Some of the times I will be able to access it however, sometimes it does not even allow me to access a single file of my solution in the startup itself it gives me an error.
I have attached a set of five screenshots in this query. There is some blank space after users path, I removed an extra folder name(username) from the path so dont get confused with that.
The detail of all the screenshots are as follows:
1) This is the image I get when I launch the Visual Studio on my laptop.
2) Once I click 'NO' option on the first dialog box I get a new one stating an error with the source code.
3) Once that is done, I move onto Solution Explorer to access the solution and I get this log.
4) When I try to access the tools tab to check for options I get this error message.
5) I had even tried to create a new project and the following error provided in this screenshot would appear.
I am not able to understand where I could have gone wrong or what happened that has corrupted the application to this extent. Is it an installation issue or are there some bugs in this version of Visual Studio, if there are any I would be more than happy to move to previous versions as I was a lot happier with them than this one.
If someone would help on this concern I would be really thankful.

First, I went ahead and uninstalled the current version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 from my system. Then, I searched and removed the data from the temporary files related to MS VS 2015 from the following paths:
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Once this had been done, I went ahead and installed Visual Studio 2015. After installation, I installed the additional support directories for Visual C++. You can do the same for the platform you wish to work on.
Then I installed updates from the following link:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2015-update3-vs
Once I started the solution it worked perfectly fine after that with no errors.
I have Visual Studio Ultimate/Enterprise installed from a previous engagement. I've now started at a new place who only have licenses form VS Professional. So I need to downgrade but the supported route involves full uninstall and full reinstall which is obviously rather time consuming.
Are there any "clever" (probably unsupported) ways to do the downgrade?
It is not possible to downgrade an installation, as they are different products and can exist side by side. The components downloaded and installed for each product are different.
If you had previously installed VS Pro, as I had, you might be able to go to "Add/Remove Programs" and select "Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise with Updates." Modify->Uninstall worked perfectly for me. Be sure to backup any settings, as some of mine got reset. My extensions stayed the same, though. To be clear, I had VS Pro first, and I installed Enterprise Evaluation side-by-side with it.
I'm in a similar situation, unfortunately there's no supported option besides the uninstall/reinstall route you've already mentioned. You could probably save some time by backing up all your extensions and settings etc. The processes outlined below might be different for more recent versions but I think the process would be similar
Backup and restore settings
Backup and restore extensions
Edit:
This is pretty weird, I'm starting to think that perhaps Drunken Code Monkey's solution is more accurate than I initially thought. I was expecting to have to follow the same process as Schneider described (uninstall / full reinstall), but as soon as the uninstall of VS Enterprise finished, I was able to open VS Pro as normal.
Edit 2:
Turns out it was not as normal, a bunch of things didn't work (creating ASP.NET MVC projects) and I had to do a repair. Not quite as bad as a full reinstall, fortunately.
Just had to do this. You must first uninstall the enterprise edition. Visual Stuido Installer will complete the uninstall and when it's finished will prompt if you'd like to install a different version, such as Community.
Down Grade visual studio from enterprise to Professional
we can download separate professional version of Visual studio EXE.
Professional and enterprise run side by side in our machine but need separate 2 license for those 2.
if you want to downgrade you visual studio from Enterprise to professional just need to install EXe using below link
https://my.visualstudio.com/downloads?pid=2234.
I just installed the visual studio update 2 on two computers and now when I try to debug my program, the visual studio closes!!
It doesn't show any exception, just closes.
What should I do? I tried to reinstall the visual studio and install again but I got the same problem.
According to Marc Paine (Visual Studio Debugger QA Lead):
You are using the Visual Web Devleoper version of VS, correct? If so, we have a known bug in this CTP only affecting VWD. You can copy symsvr.dll from any other install of VS (other express versions or pro) into the common7\ide directory for VWD. That should fix the problem. We have fixed this problem already and it should be avialable in the next CTP.
Unfortunately it doesn't worked for me... so I tell it in the support forum but Microsoft just marked my feedback as closed and didn't answer me anymore...
So unfortunately my solution was formatting my computer.
It's a CTP right now, which isn't really supposed to be stable; on the contrary - it has experimental features. So it shouldn't really surprise you that it crashes. Gather as much data as possible and send it to Microsoft; hopefully they'll fix it.
