.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 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 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 just decided it was time to refresh WebEssentials. I am running Visual Studio 2013 Pro. I had W.E. 2013 Update 2 RC. I uninstalled it and then tried to install the current Update 3. It tells me I have no products that it can install on.

Is there something left from the uninstall that is blocking a new install?? Any ideas?? Thanks
This is my mistake -- I read "SUPPORTS Visual Studio 2013 " but missed "Requires VS2013 Update 3" (my emphasis).
WebEssentials 2013 requires Visual studio 2013 Update 4 to be installed first.
See The download page
Take a note of the supported versions. For older releases go to... https://github.com/madskristensen/WebEssentials2013/releases
I don't think anything is left from the previous install that is blocking your installation of WE2013 because I had the same type of error messages when I was installing on VS2013. Perhaps it is a bug with the RC. I have noticed that installation of WE2013 from within VS Extensions and Updates does not give this type of error. Perhaps you want to try that.
The following solved my problem.
Install ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2 Update
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/announcing-release-of-asp-net-and-web-tools-2012-2-update
Install Visual 2013 update 4(if you haven't already)

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:

I'm having trouble getting lightswitch to work on my home computer.
If I try to create a new lightswitch silverlight project I get the following message:
If I try to open a project created on my laptop I see:
I've tried both to repair and reinstall visual studio with no change.
Any clues?
Have you installed it as an optional feature?

Specifically the install picture a few posts down:
EDIT: You may have to select "Modify" (depending on installer) to see that screen.
Which update of Visual Studio 2013 you have? As described here Update 2 CTP 1 has known issues and not recommended to install for LightSwitch development.
From Add/Remove Programs in the control panel, uninstall "SQL Server Data Tools 2013". Then re-install VS 2013 Update 1.
If the solution works, then you can try to reinstall SSDT by using the standalone installer.
