I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and every time I try to execute it, show me the next message:
Microsoft Visual Studio has detected mismatched installed versions of language resources. This may
happen for instance when different versions of the product (Beta, RC, RTM) are installed
for different languages.
Please uninstall all older versions and language packs or upgrade them all to the latest available
version. Until the problem is fixed Microsoft Visual Studio will not start.
Summary:
I had previously installed Visual Studio 2015 Community RC. Before install Professional i did unistall Community RC.
I did uninstall all language packages in Control Panel-Uninstall Programs.
I did uninstall all language packages in Control Panel-Update Packages.
And still doesn't work.
the same issue and full answer is here: VS2015 does not start
short answer:
open regedit
goto
in case VS:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\General
in case SSMS: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\13.0\General
set the value of UILanguage parameter to 0
Uninstall all versions of Visual Studio using https://github.com/Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller/releases
and then reinstall visual studio and continue.

"Setup Failed" Recursion too deep; stack overflowed 0x800703E9.
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 have already installed WDK. Any help?
enter image description here
Install Visual Studio 2015 or Visual Studio 2017.
Install Windows 10 SDK.
Install Windows Driver Kit (WDK) for your version of Visual Studio (there's a new version recently released for VS17).
Then you should be good to go. I've done this over and over repeatedly for a number of systems/new environments before, never ever encountered an issue when following this pattern.
I do not recommend having both Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 installed at the same time, or multiple SDK versions though. I've seen way too many conflicts due to this in the past.
I would like uninstall visual studio 2017 enterprise from my window surface pro. after that i would like to install visual studio 2017 community. just wanted to ask the following,
is it going to be just uninstall the current version of vs from programmes and installing the new version.
is there any potential issue i need to be aware off?
thanks
Please, read the documentation:
Microsoft Docs | Install Visual Studio 2017
Microsoft Docs | Uninstall Visual Studio 2017
is it going to be just uninstall the current version of vs from
programmes and installing the new version.
Yes, uninstall Enterprise Edition and install Community. Or do it vice-verse.
BTW, you should run Visual Studio Installer, not Programs and Features to manage your VS2017 installations.
As far as I know, you do not need to uninstall the VS enterprise 2017 in your scenario. For VS 2017, we can keep different versions on the same computer. Please check this: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2017-relnotes#whats-new-in-visual-studio-2017 and find the following information:
Installation Nickname
Visual Studio Enterprise and Community (among other products) can now be installed side-by-side on the same computer. To make identifying these installations simpler, you can specify a short name or "nickname". For example, if you were to install Visual Studio Enterprise, and then install Community, both would appear the same on the start menu. You can give the second one a nickname like "community", and the start menu items will appear with names such as "Visual Studio 2017 (community)" and "Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2017 (community)".
If Visual Studio 2015 (and 2017) are installed from MSDN using a Visual Studio Professional ISO, can it later be upgraded to Enterprise using a new license key? ...or does it require a complete uninstall/reinstall of Visual Studio?
You need to install the enterprise version to obtain it, and VS cannot change the version through the type of your license key and the VS version depends on your installation.
For VS 2015, we can only keep one version on the computer. If you already installed the VS professional 2015, as far as I know, you can directly install run the VS enterprise 2015 installer to install it. After the installation is complete and successful, the professional is auto removed or replaced by the higher enterprise version. You can also try to use the forcibly uninstall command like: vs_professional.exe /uninstall /force to uninstall the professional version.
For VS 2017, please check the VS 2017 Release Notes and it describes Visual Studio Enterprise and Community (among other products) can now be installed side-by-side on the same computer. To make identifying these installations simpler, you can specify a short name or "nickname".
Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise installer should tell you whether you need to uninstall Professional.
Visual Studio 2017 no longer has that restriction, and you can install both Professional and Enterprise side by side.
If you have VS Installer you can easily change versions. Although you need to uninstall the version you have, you can use the same Installer you ran for uninstallation (i.e. VSPro) to Download & install new version (i.e. Enterprise).
This question already has answers here:
Can I install two different versions of Visual Studio on the same computer?
(3 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Is it possible? or there is a compatibility issues between the two versions? Because our company is using an outdated version of visual studio (VS2005) and I wanted to try out Visual Studio 2010/2012/2013 for the purpose of learning while there is no project to do. (any of the three newer version is fine) but I don't know if it'll affect the datas of the currently installed visual studio 2005.
Can I still install a newer version without affecting the older version of visual studio?
Yes you can install multiple versions of Visual studio side by side.But install the lower versions first.
If you use Visual Studio 2013 to open a solution that was created in Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), you can later open and modify the solution again in the older version as long as you haven't implemented any features that are specific to Visual Studio 2013.
So take care about backward compatibility.Refer this for more info.
You can install all (although I only have experience with VS 6 upwards) Visual Studio Versions side-by-side without problems.
I have vs2005 2008 and 2012 running with no issue. Just don't open your 2005 projects/solutions in later versions as this will attempt to convert them to later versions which then will be no longer compatible with 2005. Visual studio will give you plenty of warnings if you do this though.
Yes, this is possible. You can install Visual Studio versions side-by-side. However, Microsoft is recommending to install the old version first before you install the later version.
We recommend that you install Visual Studio versions in the order in which they were released. For example, install Visual Studio 2013 before you install Visual Studio 2015.
You can check this link for further info.
Yes, you can. If you need more details please check Installing Visual Studio Versions Side-by-Side .
