New computer build, clean install of Win 10, installed VS2017. After struggling with VS2017 issues for a few weeks I decided to go back to VS2015 and wait for an update. I uninstalled 2017 without problems, but when I try to install 2015 I get a message that Roslyn Language Services can't be installed because there's already a version installed and to uninstall RLS using Add/Remove Programs in the control panel. No such thing as Roslyn in the Apps list.
Is there another way to uninstall RLS 2017 so I can finish installing VS2015?
I got a similar error, and couldn't Repair 2015. I was able to resolve it when uninstalling an entry in "Programs and Features" titled similar to "Visual Studio for Applications 2015 Languages". I thought this was spoken/written languages, but it related to programming languages (the Roslyn service shows up in the Visual Studio dialog after clicking uninstall on that entry).

I have windows 10 and newest visual studio version. I have tried rebooting to make sure I have as many resources as possible. I have 4g ram.
If the SSDT installer gives you multiple instances of Visual Studio to choose from, try the "new" option.
I ran into this problem trying to install SSDT 15.8.1 on Windows Server 2012 R2 with the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 (v15.8.6) already installed. The SSDT installer gave me 2 options in a dropdown box.
Install tools to this Visual Studio 2017 instance:
Visual Studio 2017
Install new SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2017
When I chose the first option: Visual Studio 2017 (presumably the existing instance), I ran into the cryptic "recursion too deep" error. I installed the SSRS extension for VS (as suggested by others on Stack Overflow) and tried running the SSDT installer again for the existing Visual Studio 2017 instance. I got the same "recursion" error.
I tried one more time, but this time chose the 'Install new SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2017' option. This time the install process completed!
Apparently there is an installer inconsistency between the latest versions of SSDT and Visual Studio. The suggested fix is to start with a previous installation of Visual Studio 2017, install the latest SSDT on top of that, and then upgrade Visual Studio. This is a very time consuming fix. It appears this is only necessary for the SSIS components - the SSAS and SSRS pieces are available as Extensions within VS, and I believe they still install successfully from there.

Please re-run the VS community 2017 installer or go to Control Panel-Programs and Features, uninstall the previous SSDT version for VS 2017, then re-install it, you can have a look at this similar issue.
If this issue persists, please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs and find vslogs.zip under the %temp% folder, then upload the file to Onedrive and share the link here.
You should uninstall the current version of SSDT before install a new version.
If your computer have some pages blocked, you could download the specific version offline installer (Download the header, then use SSDT-Setup.exe /layout [Folder]) for the former version and new version of SSDT.
How I got past it:
Uninstall the Visual Studio extensions for Reporting Services (and Analysis Services) projects in case if you going to select them during SSDT set up. Note: remember to run VS as administrator to do the uninstall.
Reboot VS2017 (just out of general principle.)
I'll get straight to the point here.
I've been having loads of problems installing Visual Studio 2015 Community recently. I previously had Visual Studio 2012, but decided to uninstall it and install 2015 since I've started using 2015 at college.
Originally I was using Windows 7 Professional when I was having the issues, but it persists with Windows 10. The exact issue is that when I try to install Visual Studio, it progresses a little bit and then stops at "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210" and then doesn't progress past that. It will keep installing that for as long as I let it, and when I try to stop the download, it will not close and I will have to restart my PC. See here:

I contacted Microsoft support, which, I have to say, is appalling, and they recommended that I try to install it after performing a clean boot. I did that, and it seemed to be working, but I got multiple other errors. See here:
2
As I need this programme to help with college work, you can see how this would be a huge inconvenience for me, and since Microsoft support is so terrible, I decided to come here to ask for help.
So, would you please help me figure this out?
Refer to the log file, I found the error message 'The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210 cannot be removed', you can have a try with the following to troubleshot this issue:
Make sure run the installer as administrator.
Go to Control Panel—Programs and Features and if you can find any versions of Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, right-click and repair. After that, re-run the VS installer as administrator to repair. If not works, uninstall the installed Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable versions and re-run the VS installer again.
You can also use the MsiInv tool: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2005/07/01/using-msiinv-to-gather-information-about-what-is-installed-on-a-computer/ to obtain all Windows Installer products, features and components that Windows Installer thinks are installed on your computer, then manually uninstall the Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210 by running msiexec /x command. After that, re-run the VS installer as administrator.
Download the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable from https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=48145 and install it, then re-run the VS installer to repair.
I have Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 installed on my drive D:.
I recently got a 1TB SSD for my C: drive and wanted to move VS to that drive. Long story shortened; it was a nightmare. Although I could uninstall VS, I could not get it to reinstall in any other location except for D:. After three days of trying, I gave up and reinstalled back to D:. I still could not get it to install correctly and some things are "damaged". Updates, etc. do not completely succeed because of the "damaged" module installation. I do not want to risk running the "Repair" option in the control panel again because that often makes it worse (damages more things); which leads to a several hour process of uninstalling & reinstalling. This question shows some of the installer/uninstaller problems: Installation errors in repair of Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition on Windows 10
I am now planning on reinstalling Windows 10 Pro in order to clean up this install.
I was planning on eventually getting Visual Studio Professional 2015.
Will I have similar problems upgrading from "Community Edition" to the "Professional" version?
I was hoping to open a dialog box, type in the license key and have the "Community Editon" become a "Professional" version. Is that possible or is a complete uninstall/reinstall how this upgrade would work?
(Disclaimer: I worked on Visual Studio 2015 including portions of the setup experience while at Microsoft)
It can, but it isn't as simple as entering an upgraded product key, you also need the media.
When you buy/license Visual Studio 2015 Professional or higher, you'll have access to the install media, usually an ISO file or vs_setup.exe web-downloader. Mount the ISO image and run Setup and you'll be prompted to upgrade (if I remember correctly). You cannot (to my knowledge) have a side-by-side install of Community and Professional Edition (unlike you can with the Express editions).
Personally I would just do a full uninstall of Community first, then a clean install of Professional - when I worked on the setup experience of VS2015 I logged a whole bunch of bugs that were experienced during in-version SKU upgrades (e.g. upgrading Community to Enterprise, then downgrading to Professional), such as project template item templates disappearing, etc. It wouldn't surprise me if these still caused issues - I don't think it's worth the risk.
Regarding Visual Studio 2017
Visual Studio 2017 now fully supports side-by-side installations of different SKUs (which is why the installation directory is %programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 2017\Enterprise). So rather than doing an in-place upgrade from a lower SKU to a higher SKU, you install it as a separate install entirely. You'll need to manually move your settings and extensions over (or use the Microsoft Account-based settings synchronization feature).
I personally know that when your email address subscription has professional your VS install using that email if community will upgrade on it's own to Pro.
I am trying to install Resharper 10.0.2 with VS 2013, I have completed the setup but still unable to see any menu item related to Resharper also found nothing in tools > options. I am running Windows 7.
I wants to rename my files and master pages in my running project with all references. I have read that resharper will do it properly, is there any other way or help me installing Resharper.
I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and every time I try to execute it, show me the next message:
Microsoft Visual Studio has detected mismatched installed versions of language resources. This may
happen for instance when different versions of the product (Beta, RC, RTM) are installed
for different languages.
Please uninstall all older versions and language packs or upgrade them all to the latest available
version. Until the problem is fixed Microsoft Visual Studio will not start.
Summary:
I had previously installed Visual Studio 2015 Community RC. Before install Professional i did unistall Community RC.
I did uninstall all language packages in Control Panel-Uninstall Programs.
I did uninstall all language packages in Control Panel-Update Packages.
And still doesn't work.
the same issue and full answer is here: VS2015 does not start
short answer:
open regedit
goto
in case VS:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\General
in case SSMS: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\13.0\General
set the value of UILanguage parameter to 0
Uninstall all versions of Visual Studio using https://github.com/Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller/releases
