I've installed a few versions of Visual Studio 2015 and am now on Update 2.
I seem to have a number of Windows 10 SDK's installed and want to know which one was delivered with VS2015 Update 2 so I can target that? Then, when other devs in my team install Update 2, I'll know they've got that SDK installed.
This page lists some SDK's, but doesn't have an entry for VS2015 Update 2.

I have trouble installing a specific version of Visual Studio 2017.
Microsoft released the new Update 3 (Version 15.3.1) and they only provide an online installer. This one installs the most recent version, which always includes the update 3.
The problem is that I need to install VS 2017 Update 2, but I found no way of doing that. I already had a look in creating an offline installation, but there is no argument for setting a specific version.
Do you know of any way to install VS 2017 with an older version then update 3?
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.
.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

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!
This is similar to Install Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7
But there are a few key differences:
I'd like to install the community edition of Visual Studio 2013, not the express edition.
This is a specific question for Update 5. A while back I was able to download Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 for Windows Desktop and it worked fine. But despite a lot of searching, I was only able to find a Windows [8 or 10] installer for Update 5.
LATE EDIT: the computer I'm referring to in point #2 that worked with visual studio 2013 update 3 is not the computer I'm working on now, it turns out that the computer I'm on now didn't have SP1 installed on it.
At first I thought they merged the installers for windows and windows desktop like they did for VS 2015, but when the download finally finished (much to my disappointment) it presented me with a message saying that it was not compatible with windows 7. I wasn't able to find any official news from microsoft saying they were dropping desktop support for update 5, either.
I think this was a problem with update 4, too.
Has anybody successfully installed Visual Studio 2013 Community Update 5 on Windows 7, using a fresh install?
If not, does anybody know where I can still get an iso for VS 2013 Community Update 3?
It seems like everything that used to be a requirements page for VS2013 redirects to a download page for VS2015 now. I'm not having much luck with archive.org, either.
I found this page about VS 2013 compatibility but it does not say anything about the community edition.
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-2013-compatibility-vs.aspx
I found the problem, when I installed the OS on this machine I didn't realize that I had a Vanilla Windows 7 disk, instead of one that came with Service Pack 1 pre-installed.
I was comparing my experience with 2013 on a different computer that had SP1 already installed, that's why I thought it was due to update 4 & 5, sorry for the mixup!
It appears that Visual Studio 2013 requires Windows 7 SP1 and higher. When I installed SP1 the Visual Studio 2013 Update 5 installer worked as expected. Visual Studio 2013 did not stop working on Windows 7 after update 3. Also, there's a single iso for all OSes now (as opposed to having one for Windows 8+ and one for Windows 7 in Update 3).
It might be worth noting that Microsoft's Visual Studio 2015 compatibility page shows support for "Windows 7", farther down the page in a footnote it says that it requires "the latest service pack for all operating systems". Unfortunately, I just noticed that footnote now.

Good day, I'am trying to install express 2013 with update 2 for Windows in order to run Xamarin.Forms ... The error I'm currently receiving are "This version of Visual Studio requires a computer with a newer version of Windows". My operating system are currently running Windows 7 professional.. Is it required to have Windows 8 to install Express 2013 with Update 2?
EDIT: I've was able to install microsoft visual express 2013 for desktop at http://www.microsoft.com/en-my/download/details.aspx?id=40787
As illustrated in the download link,
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42670
Windows 8 is required if you want to install this update. This is expected, as this update primarily targets Windows Store and Windows Phone apps.
To play with Xamarin.Forms, you can solely use Xamarin Studio. Note that to use Xamarin.Forms in Visual Studio, you usually need Visual Studio Professional editions. Express editions do not allow any third party add-ons to be installed, so you won't get Xamarin bits there.
no not required to upgrade to windows 8....check the recruitment for visual studio and installation details at Microsoft.com
