vstoolsforxamarin Installation Error - visual-studio

I have been attempting to install Xamarin w/ Visual Studio via Xamarin's vstoolswithxamarin.exe installer. I have just installed Visual Studio in a fresh Windows 10 installation. I have about 75 gb available on the installation drive. After initiating the installation with the installer's default options selected, the installation sits for a very long time at "Configuring your system. This might take a while", then finally ends with the error "Setup Completed however not all features installed correctly. Optional Items. This operation returned because the timeout period expired." I have no 3rd party virus protection, and attached is a log file from an installation attempted with Windows Defender disabled.

If the Xamarin tools are there, I am missing them.

You can check if Xamarin was installed correctly by grabbing the version info from Visual Studio:
Help -> About Microsoft Visual Studio -> Copy Info
You should see the version of Xamarin near the end of the list:
Alternatively, you can use the Xamarin.VisualStudio installer - if you email contact#xamarin.com we can send you the download link for this.

asp.net core 2.0 unable to delete PreCompiledViews.dll

I have an asp.net core 2.0 web application.
When I publish it to a web server (using a UNC path), the [AppName].PrecompiledViews.dll becomes locked and I'm unable to delete it (and therefore can't re-publish the app).
I've tried manually deleting the file(s) - everything deletes fine, except for this one dll... and I don't have permission to go and restart the IIS worker process to free the lock, so I'm at a loss as to what to do... waiting for the app to recycle is my current best plan.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Issue IOS simulator

I upgraded VS 2015 CE with Update 2 by installing Xamarin, but I have a problem with IOS simulators, because after you successfully connected the Mac Agent, the list of available devices (iPhoneSimulator) remains empty. The operating system (Mac) installed on a VM's OS X El capitan 10.11.4. I tried to start the test project by Xamarin studio on Mac and it all works. Both versions of Xamrain (Pc and Mac) are updated to the latest version. How do I fix it? Thank you

Visual Studio with Resharper. Code editing will not respond to keyboard after running Windows System Restore

I ran a windows system restore on my Windows 7 PC
Now when I open my visual studio solutions in VS2015 Update1 , when I type into the source code, no changes are accepted.
I can create new projects, and I can open the source files in notepad.
I have tried restarting the computer.
The problem disappears if I uninstall Resharper Ultimate 10, and re-appears if I reinstall it.

Can you try this -
Open RegEdit, find this key:

Delete the MDD-specific value: “ReferenceGroups_MDD”.
Do not delete the “ReferenceGroups” value, or you may mess up your JSLS intelli-sense for non-MDD scenarios.
Deleting that ReferenceGroups_MDD value under the JSLS key should unblock the installation of any installers that are blocking because they (incorrectly) think that you still have the VS2013 Tools for Apache Cordova installed.
Note: If you upgrade to Update5, you will lose the ability to work with MDD projects until we release the next version of our tools that work on top of update5. We are in process of validating our next release for Update5 and will release it soon.
I am sorry that the uninstall of our tools (for Apache Cordova) is not working for you.
The command to uninstall a previous version of the tools has 2 different GUIDS in it.
"%ProgramData%\Package Cache\{f2f851cc-42a1-41f2-a2cd-a0e4627a60cb}\vs2013mda_0.1.exe" /uninstall /passive /force/burn.ignoredependencies={53d408db-eb91-43fb-9d8f-167681c19763};vsupdate_KB2829760
The first is the GUID of the Cordova package that you have installed on your machine that you want to uninstall. You can find the correct GUID to use by searching under %ProgramData%\Package Cache for vs2013mda_0.1.exe and find the GUID of the folder where it resides. Substitute the GUID you find on your machine for the first GUID in the command line script.
The second GUID in the command is the GUID of the package that is blocking the uninstall. There are a number of packages that will block the uninstall, and we have included a command for all of them but perhaps not with the right combination of MDD GUID that you have on your machine.
Here is a guide to which GUID you should use in the 2nd part of the command:
If you have VS 2013 Update 4 installed on your machine:
{53d408db-eb91-43fb-9d8f-167681c19763}
If you have VS 2013 Update 5 CTP1 installed on your machine:
{ee836379-0143-481a-97c9-d577d049e22a}
If you have VS 2013 Update 5 CTP2 installed on your machine:
{cf552a8c-484b-4e33-afe7-c81dfadb0cfc}
If none of these work for you still, you can find the correct GUID to use by looking in the uninstall log for the MDD tools. When you attempt to uninstall MDD tools via Add Remove Programs, it will create a log file in %Temp% called dd_mda_tools_YYYYMMDDNNNN.log. In that uninstall log there will be a line that looks something like this:
Detected related bundle: {53d408db-eb91-43fb-9d8f-167681c19763}, type: Dependent.
Chances are the GUID for the related bundle in your file will be different from the ones we have covered in the pre-constructed commands. You can substitute the dependent GUID that you find in your uninstall log for the GUID in the 2nd part of the command.
Let me know if this works or not.
