Error installing Windows SDK 10.0.14393 - windows

installation of VS 2015 Update 3 reported an error installing Windows SDK 10.0.14393.
i found some forum entries about that issue, tipping for separat installation of the SDK. i did so. result:

Any suggestions?

My instance of your problem included problems with the KB3165756 Update to Visual Studio 2015, lo these last 2 days. Though I've cleared that (downloaded the VS2015 .iso AND ran it OFFLINE <-- that was key), the 10.0.14393 Windows SDK installer now simply terminates without doing anything. Like you, the 10586 SDK installer went in smoothly.

For the version 10.0.14393.33 this helped me: https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/2571#issuecomment-259671943
You have to download the entire installer package via web-install of SDK. Then go to the folder with downloaded data and edit UserExperienceManifest.xml the described way.

Installation : Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable stuck at 'Processing: Windows7_MSU_X64'

I'm trying to install the package of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable as my xampp apache module cannot be installed. The installation take a very long time to complete. What should I do? Is this common and is all I have to do is wait?
They are dead stuck with this setup progress as the indication
Processing: Windows7_MSU_X64
To install the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, you do not need to remove or uninstall the previous versions.
Refer to the error message, you can have a look at the installation log file and search ‘error’, if you can find the error message about Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu, check this similar issue and have a try with the following to troubleshot this issue:
Download the update KB2999226 for your OS edition from here: Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows and before it, since your OS is windows 7, make sure SP1 is installed.
Manually install the KB2999226 as below:
Find the Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu from the folder C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\xxxxx\packages\Patch\x64, which you can the path from the installation log
Create a folder named ‘XXXX’ in that and execute following commands from Admin command prompt
wusa.exe Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu /extract:XXXX
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:XXXX\Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.cab
vc_redist.x64.exe /repair
If you have no idea about the installation log, you can go to %temp% and order by ‘Date modified’, then you should find the installation log, or you can use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.zip under %temp% folder then upload the file to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.
I first tried a clean boot and that didn't work so I opened up the task manager to see what other processes I might kill while it was stuck at "Processing: Windows7_MSU_X64" I killed the process titled "windows update standalone installer" and the install completed successfully the moment I killed that process.
Okay, I found the solution for my stucked installation. I updated my Windows manually using wsusoffline tools as my Windows can't seem to update with the usual ways.
Install wsusoffline and select all update for Windows (Windows 7 for me). Make sure to choose the folder to save your update.
Wait for the update to be downloaded
Install the update
Install the MV C++ Redistributable again
Done!
I finally can install my Xampp Apache module and access to the localhost.

Windows 10 SDK won't install to Visual Studio

I've been trying to get Visual Studio and the Windows 10 SDK to work for over a week now. First I couldn't install Visual Studio. That problem was resolved by uninstalling EVERYTHING vaguely related to VS2015, thanks to manually going through everything, but also the Visual Studio "TotalUninstaller".
Plot twist: Now that I've managed to get VS2015 installed and running, I can't get the SDK to install. I've selected it with the installation process, tried to modify VS after, tried to install it with the Standalone installer, but none of it works. Every time, the installer doesn't notice anything wrong, all the tools appear in the start menu, a new "Program Files (x86)/WindowsKits/10.0" folder appears, with all the correct files, but VS can't open any UWP projects, can't create new any, and the SDK doesn't appear in the Extensions list.
When I uninstalled everything, there was only one thing I couldn't get rid of: "Windows 10 for Mobile Image - 10.0.10240.0". It just opens, runs for a second, and closes, achieving nothing in the process. As I couldn't get rid of this, I manually deleted any "Windows Kits" related folder in Program Files, Program Files (x86), ProgramData, and anything in the AppData folder. But this piece of fluffy garbage didn't leave my installed programs list. Could this have something to do with not being able to install the Windows 10 SDK correctly?
I looked in the install logs, and this is the only error I saw:
[371C:398C][2016-08-08T21:13:35]i301: Applying execute package: {7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2}, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2}\vsupdate_KB3022398.exe, arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2}\vsupdate_KB3022398.exe" -quiet -burn.related.patch -burn.ignoredependencies={248fcd1e-5ee1-421d-893f-ec0a94dd7b01} -burn.ancestors={248fcd1e-5ee1-421d-893f-ec0a94dd7b01}'

It appears in every log when I try to install vs2015 with the right option ticked, or when I use the standalone installer. I've looked in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache and there is no {7a68448b-9cf2-4049-bd73-5875f1aa7ba2} folder, and none of the other folders contain "vsupdate_KB3022398.exe". It looks like this is the root of the problem.
EDIT: I've created the folder that was missing and added "vsupdate_KB3022398.exe" to it (found it online, hosted on a Microsoft server), and there are no more errors left. However, the problem still isn't fixed. The SDK simply refuses to show up. I think I'm going to have to do a clean install.
I had the issue of Windows 10 SDK 14393 failing to install on Windows 7 OS. This problem occurred when installing as part of Visual Studio 2015 and also running the Standalone Installer for the Windows 10 SDK 14393. According to the logs, the Windows Desktop Extension SDK failed to install.
As a work-around I installed Windows 10 SDK 10586 (Installed successfully)
Then I installed Windows 10 SDK 14393 (Installed successfully)
Both versions of the Windows 10 SDK appear as choices under Target Platform Version in Visual Studio 2015 for me.
Apparently the Windows 10 SDK 14393 installer is missing something which it requires to run successfully on Windows 7. (Something that must be present in the previous version)
Sorry for the difficulty. There are 2 known issues that are causing 'Fatal Error' in the Windows SDK install.
See the Windows SDK Tools Issues Forum.
You probably have (had) a pre-release of the SDK and one of the contracts installed is causing MDMerge to fail during setup. Uninstalling the prerelease version of the SDK should avoid this issue.
Thanks,
kevin
I had the MDMerge problem, after uninstalling all previous Windows 10 SDK toolkits, still couldn't install. Fixed it by moving the contents of: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10", ran the installer again and it installed fine.
This is what I did and it kind of worked for me. Remove everything in the linker ( PROJECT -> LINKER -> Input -> Additional Dependencies, as can be seen in this screenshot

Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 Installation/Change Fails - "The parameter is incorrect"

I am trying to install the Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, but I am receiving an error each time. I have tried both the web installer and the ISO, and I have also tried going into Control Panel/Programs and modifying the 2015 install. All of these result in the same error: "Setup Engine - The parameter is incorrect". I've read about some of the other issues with the installer, but I'm hoping somebody else might have seen this one or something similar. The logs always have the following error in them:
[1B10:1DA0][2016-07-18T11:39:28]e000: Error 0x80070057: Failed to convert version: to DWORD64 for ProductCode: {284FA9A0-CEDD-81D3-5A19-5858E95FD0C4}

I have even tried to download the full installer for VS2015, but all installers seem to run through the same error. Any ideas on how I might repair this particular component so the installs will succeed?
Additional information, this is happening on a VM of Windows 10 running in Parallels 11.
Screen shot of installer failing
I found a similar issue here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/974081/visual-studio-update-3-installation-keeps-failing-error-message-setup-engine-the-parameter-is-incorrect
The reply from Heath[MSFT]:
The logs confirm that some of your Windows Installer product
registration is corrupt. For the first issue, open a command prompt
(preferably elevated to avoid multiple UAC prompts later) and run the
following:
start /wait msiexec /fomus {284FA9A0-CEDD-81D3-5A19-5858E95FD0C4} REINSTALL=ALL
That should get
you past the first problem. If it does not, manually remove the
product like so and re-install it from the package cache:
start /wait msiexec /x {284FA9A0-CEDD-81D3-5A19-5858E95FD0C4} IGNOREDEPENDENCIES=ALL
start /wait msiexec /i "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{A79F6653-6AF1-4AF2-BC15-F5D6C05E1E6A}v2.0.40326.0\packages\sptoolsDependencies\enu\WorkflowManagerTools_x64.msi" ADDLOCAL=ALL NOVSUI=1
(change the above file
WorkflowManagerTools_x64.msi according to your log file record) After
this, installing VS Update 3 should work.
I had a very similar problem which at its root exhibited the same issue identified above in the Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 setup error (I couldn't install SSMS 17.1 which uses the Visual Studio 2015 Isolated Shell). I tried the solution above which unfortunately did not work for me. I did some more digging through the vs_isoshell.exe log file and found lines similar to those below.
[6BE0:36E0][2017-07-13T13:05:36]i000: Error 0x80070057: Failed to convert version: to DWORD64 for ProductCode: {9A7E3828-17FB-3E0C-9B28-48493E01937A}
The ProductCode refers to the "Microsoft Visual C++ 15 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.10.24269".
A perusal of my installed programs showed I did not have this installed, and I was unable to install it again due to a later version being present (it turns out it was upgraded, or removed, when I installed Visual Studio 2017).
I did some more searching and came across this page which had steps I adapted to my situation. I performed the same registry profiling of the installer with Process Monitor and the same key was missing. I added a key called DisplayVersion (string - REG_SZ) to the path below with a value of 14.10.24629 and that worked.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\8283E7A9BF71C0E3B9828494E31039A7\InstallProperties]
Adding the key/value pair allowed the installation of the VS 2015 Update 3 Isolated Shell to finish successfully which in turn allowed the SSMS 17.1 installation to complete successfully.

unable to install xamarin from vs 2015 setup

I have vs 2015 upgrade 1 installed and I try to install Xamrin from the setup, but when I try to install it, at the end receive this error message:
C#/.Net Xamarin
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with package. The error code is 2711.
how can I solve this?
I had the same error. The error is due to old Xamarin installer files in the cache.
C#/.Net Xamarin The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with package. The error code is 2711.
I did the following steps to fix it:
Note: a folder could be hidden, so enable show hidden items in the windows explorer.
Delete any Xamarin related folders from
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudioSecondaryInstaller\14.0\installers" folder.
For example:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudioSecondaryInstaller\14.0\installers\XamarinVS
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudioSecondaryInstaller\14.0\installers\XamarinVSV1
If the first step doesn't help then try to do the following below.
Delete all Xamarin related folders or files from windows temprorary folders TMP and TEMP.
You could find the temprorary folders in the Windows/Control Panel/ System/Advanced/Enviroment variables
I found that solution in comments section here:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/03/31/mobile-app-development-made-easy-with-visual-studio-and-xamarin/#comment-142062
You can try a manual install by downloading and installing the following:

Cannot publish .net application or to install Web Deploy 3.5

When I tried to publish my .net application on the server using using Web Deploy 3.0 I got this error:
Web deployment task failed. Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentBaseOptions' does not contain a definition for 'UserAgent'
Searching the web I found that someone fixed this problem upgrading Web Deploy to version 3,.5.
When I tried to upgrade Web Deploy to the version 3.5 I got this error:
http://sciepa.org/zalek/pictures/WebDeploy3.5Failed.png
MSI (s) (78:1C) [13:26:40:909]: Hello, I'm your 32bit Elevated custom action server.

Then I tried to get current Web Deploy using Visual Studio 2013, and got this error:

Here are logs of the installation through Visual Studio:

To fix error code is 2738 someone suggested this command:
[http://www.jakeludington.com/windows_7/20091115_error_2738_could_not_access_vbscript_run_time_for_custom_action.html][4]
I registered vbscript using command:
c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32 vbscript.dll
c:\windows\system32\regsvr32 vbscript.dll
I also added to the PATH folders where vbscript.dll is located: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\;c:\windows\system32\
but it didn't help.
Any ideas what to do next?
After many hours of searching, repairing system using SFC.EXE /SCANNOW command I found that the problem was McAfee antivirus program. My PC come with McAfee, but I uninstall it it - at least this is what I thought I did.
This page explains how to do it in details:

What I did was to run this program:
