I already had Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Update 3 installed on my computer but realized some programs won't run with it and I needed to downgrade to Update 2. I found this link which is the version I need but whenever I run the setup it retrieves Update 3 in the list. I can't seem to get Update 2 installed. Is it because I had the Update 3 installed before? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Maybe someone knows a direct link to the Update 2 ISO!
Thanks.
Have you tried to completely remove the VS 2015 community with update 3? If not, please try to download the VisualStudioUninstaller to clean up and delete Preview, RC and final releases of Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio 2015, as well as early previews of Visual Studio 2017, and you can run it for several times.
Follow this document: How to: Install a Specific Release of Visual Studio to download the VS community 2015 RTM version from the same website that you shared in here , then use the specific command like vs_community.exe /OverrideFeedURI http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/B/06BB0C5C-C767-4250-91DA-AB463377597E/20160405.3/enu/feed.xml or vs_ community.exe /OverrideFeedURI http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/B/06BB0C5C-C767-4250-91DA-AB463377597E/20160405.3/enu/feed.xml to install the VS community 2015 with update 2 per your requirement.

I am having a trouble with installing Visual Studio 2015 Update 3.
It keeps failing to install Team Explorer.
HERE is log.
(I am using Window 7 because my computer's Mother Board does not support Windows 10.)
Try this link for a possible solution:

It seems that you have an early version of Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 CTP installed. Try to uninstall this first as these prerelease versions does not handle upgrade that well.
To my knowledge Visual Studio 2015 should work just fine on Window 7.
.NET Core 1.0.0 was released yesterday and it needs VS update 3 to be installed.
So I downloaded the installer from here and tried installing but this weird issue is happening:
It's as if the installer is trying to get update 2 instead of update 3. I'm already on update 2 and it's telling me that. I tried searching but didn't find anything on the subject. Also tried restarting my machine.
And now I'm being blocked by this since I already uninstalled .NET Core RC2, and .NET Core 1.0.0 doesn't want to install before VS update 3.
Forget the downloaded update, just go to Programs and Features, double click Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 and choose "Modify" from the VS installer options. Update 3 will be available there.
Check this -> https://msdn.microsoft.com/vs-knownissues/vs2015-update3
"Workaround:
Instead of installing Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 by using VS2015.3.exe, install the update by using a full product installer. You can find installers for "Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3" on the Visual Studio download page. Select the "Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3" download that matches the edition you already have installed, whether Community, Professional, or Enterprise.
Alternatively, you can follow the steps in Updating an installation to force an update to the layouts."
I faced this problem
I solved it by downloading the offline iso file then installed it from the iso file
you can find offline iso file
http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/2016/06/visual-studio-2015-update-3.html
the direct links
Visual Studio Community 2015 with Update 3 - iso

Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 - ISO
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=708984
A workaround is to not use the download. Instead, open Program and Features from the Control Panel. Select "Visual Studio 2015 with Updates" (or your equivalent), and click Change. From the installation dialog, click Modify and you should see Update 3 available to be selected.
After downloading the full installer Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 - ISO I ran it from admin command prompt with vs2015.3.exe /Passive
With the /Passive switch it finally installed the upate!
I'm trying to install MS Visual Studio 2010 in my laptop, but it get stuck on this point. I've installed it several times before, but now i can't. Even I installed my windows again but the problem is same. I'm using windows 7 ultimate. Please help me if someone knows about it.
If your persistent on using the VS 2010 Beta 2 version, try this:

but I recommend to skip it and install VS 2013 as adviced by #simonzack and #Horizon_Net
Is it important to install the version one and two for visual studio 2013 simultaneous to be updated?
No, you don't need to install previous updates. The update packages are cumulative, and include all feature additions and bug fixes from previous versions. You just need to install the latest one.
This is documented in the KB articles describing each update. For example, Description of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.
The same is true for the various Visual Studio 2012 updates.
No just install Update 2 for Visual Studio 2013 & you are good to go.
The Update 1 is more focused on fixing issues with the VS2013:

Whilst the Update 2, according to VS2013 team, provides more new features:
