Coworker has VS 2015 installed and needs vb6 on his machine.
The popup "service pack setup has detected that the version of the system installed is newer than the update you are applying to it"
Is there a work around for this?
I have both installed on my machine (Windows 7) but I installed VB6 first and then VS 2015.

First off, I know about the bug that happens when installing Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8.1 using SCCM 2012. However, I believe this bug was fixed in the update 3. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsnetsetup/archive/2014/10/29/error-26403-failed-to-add-user-to-group.aspx
I have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Premium 2013 with update 4.
I have downloaded the latest available version of the Visual Studio 2013 Shell (Isolated). https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx. And when installing with SCCM 2012, I am still getting the error message that was present in pre-update 3 versions of visual studio.
Error 26403.Failed to add user to group. (-2147463168 SYSTEM Performance Log Users )
Does anyone have a workaround for installing Vs Shell (Isolated) onto a windows 8.1 machine with sccm 2012 ?
I want to install Visual studio 2013 Ultimate, but an error message pops up saying:
You need a newer version of windows
After a little research about the known installation issues for VS2013, I updated to SP1 from the Microsoft website and installed IE10, but I am still unable to install it.
SOLUTION FOUNDED:
I have found the solution to my problem, simply by changing the Visual Studio installation File from the C (system drive) it was in the desktop, to the D (other stuff drive) and relaunching the installation again, magically the installation begins without any issues.
I'm running the RC version of VS 2013 and Windows 8.1. If I go to visualstudio.com, my project and click on "Open new instance of Visual Studio", Visual Studio opens but I get a message box saying "Key not valid for use in specific state."
I've been able to work with this repository in Windows 7 just fine. So I'm assuming it has to do with the OS. Has anybody else seen this behavior?
Thanks!
This is working fine on my computer today in VS 2013 Premium RTM against the Service, I've tested with both TFVC and Git based team projects. I have the Git 1.8.4 installed and am running Windows 8.1 RTM.
What ever the problem is/was seems fixed if you install the latest everything (as I always do) :).
I am having trouble getting x64 compilation to work on Windows 7 RTM (64-bit) with Visual Studio 2008 Professional (both with and without SP1). I have not installed the Windows 7 SDK, as Microsoft suggests might be the issue. The problem is that there are no x64/64-bit choices in the Configuration Manager of Visual Studio.
I do not have the "Microsoft Visual C++ Compilers 2008 Standard Edition" suggested in the link above installed on my computer. Any ideas what might fix this?
I have checked that I have the x64 compiler and tools installed with Visual Studio.
Solution found: Uninstall VS completely and reinstall. Issue resolved after SP1 installed (again). Very strange.
Are you using VS 2008 Express Edition?
You can add the x64 targets to the build configuration manually by downloading the Windows SDK (which include all the x64 compilers/linkers/libs/headers/... ) and following the instructions in this link:
http://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/
EDIT
Did you make sure to include the 64 bit toolset as part of the Visual Studio install? This toolset is an optional component that can be disabled during the initial install process. I believe you can add it back in by going through a Visual Studio repair process.
Original Answer
Are you using a clean windows 7 RTM install or did you upgrade from a previous version? There is at least one issue being reported by Visual Studio customers who upgraded an earlier build of Windows 7 to RTM.

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.
