I tried to install VS 2015 Community (free) on two different computers (both Windows 7 Professional). And the installation fails on both. The error message says:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 Developer Pack.
Incorrect function
You probably need to install
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 Developer Pack first
Can be found here and hit download button compatible with the latest windows 10 system
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49978
Then try and re install VS 2015 Community it should work
As had this problem before when I installed 2013 but putting the .net framework on before cured it and VS 2013 installed with no problems

I recently updated my Windows 10 to the anniversary edition which includes the .NET v4.6.2 Framework. When I try to load a project targeting the v4.6.2 framework in Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3, VS tells me v4.6.2 is "not installed on this machine". When I try to download and install v4.6.2, the installer tells me v4.6.2 or higher is already installed on this machine. Anyone know how to resolve this?
You need to install the .NET 4.6.2 Developer pack.
I just installed the new release of ASP.Net 5 beta 8. I ran DotNetVersionManager-x64.msi and then WebToolsExtensionsVS14.msi. I tried to open a simple app that worked in beta 7 and it won't load the project with a message
This project is incompatible with the current edition of Visual Studio:
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2015
Version 14.0.23107.0 D14REL
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.00079
I then tried to create a new ASP.Net 5 web project and got this:
The project file 'c:\users\myfolder\documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\WebApplication3\src\WebApplication3\WebApplication3.xproj' cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the DotNetVersionManager and WebToolsExtensionsVS14 with the same result.
Fixed it by doing this
Close VS, then delete the folder at %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\ComponentModelCache and restart – Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi

The easiest way to get started building applications with ASP.NET 5 is to install the latest version of Visual Studio 2015 (including the free Community edition).
Install Visual Studio 2015
Be sure to specify that you want to include the Microsoft Web Developer Tools.
Install ASP.NET 5.
This will install the latest ASP.NET 5 runtime and tooling.
Enable the ASP.NET 5 command-line tools. Open a command-prompt and run:
dnvm upgrade
This will make the default .NET Execution Environment (DNX) active on the path.
On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 you will also need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.
You are all set up and ready to write your first ASP.NET 5 application!

I'm trying to install the VS2012 4.0.3 targeting pack for VS. However, when I run it, it gives me this error:
Installation Requirements:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack was not found. Please
repair your installation for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in order to
get this update.
However, I'm trying to install it to VS2012... I've uninstalled VS2010 (using the KB uninstaller, I think I did the full uninstallation), and wiped its folder in Program Files (x86) as well (I don't need it, and I prefer 2012). What should I do to fix this issue?
I am new to the windows phone development, and I am struggling to get everything installed related to the windows phone development tools. I had already MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU with SP1 installed on my machine (with Windows 7 Enterprise + Windows 7 SP1). I installed the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27570), and then Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW successfully. But when I tried to open Visual Studio, it said that only a few Visual Studio components had Visual Studio SP1, and in order to open the Visual Studio I had to install the complete Visual Studio SP1. So then I reinstalled the Visual Studio SP1 and the Visual Studio started working fine.
Now I have MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU with SP1, Windows Phone SDK 7.1, and Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW installed on my machine, but when I try to install Windows Phone Developer Tools January 2011 Update, following error message is displayed:
"The update patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
I have verified everything. Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
Try uninstalling the developer tools completely then install dev tools rtw followed by patch and then sdk
I guess something goes wrong with your Visual Studio SP1 installation, so to uninstall all the developer tools and then doing the fresh installation would be the good Idea.
You can do the installation in this sequence..
Win 7 SP1
Visual Studio
Visual Studio SP1
WP7 developer tools
WP developer tools update
Hope it helps.
That update that is throwing an error is not required. The order of installation is detailed on this page: http://create.msdn.com/en-us/resources/downloads
You want to be installing the SDK 7.1 and then the SDK 7.1.1 update.
There's no need for you to uninstall Visual Studio here.

I'm now working on RC Windows 7 and installed Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition. But I need to work with Java programs, and so I needed to work with Visual Studio 2005. I installed Visual Studio 2005 SP1 (VS80sp1-KB926747), but I have the following problem:
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
I previously had the same problem when I installed the Visual Studio SDK, February2007.
I had a similar problem when I was installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional on a Windows 7 machine.
But here is what I did to fix the problem:
Install Visual Studio 2005 Professional
During the install, a window popped up saying that VS2005 might not be compatible with Windows 7. Ignore this warning and continue.
Install Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1
VS80sp1-KB926601-X86-ENU.exe
Link: Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team Suite Service Pack 1
Install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista
VS80sp1-KB932232-X86-ENU.exe
Link: Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista
Note:
If you try and install #3 before #2, you will end up with a message that says :
"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
Hope it helps.
BBlake is right look at: https://superuser.com/questions/34190/visual-studio-2005-sp1-refuses-to-install-in-windows-7
It looks like you're trying to install SP1 (the patch) without having first installed Visual Studio 2005 (the application). The SP1 install is only for patching an existing installation.
