Is it possible to install Visual Studio 2015 on a mac?
Is there any straightforward documentation or explanation how to do it?
At the time of this writing, Visual Studio for Mac (preview) is available. If you are trying to install it to a location other than the internal hard drive, see my post here (wasn't possible at that time).
Up to this point, it's not possible to access directly Visual Studio 2015 in Mac.
You need to use Virtual Machine and install Windows 10 along with Visual Studio 2015 and access it from there. That's the only solution at this point.
However, there's Visual Studio 2017 for Mac ->
Visual Studio 2017

I have Visual Studio 2017 with Xamarin on my PC. VS 2015 has been long uninstalled but VS 2015 Tools for Xamarin keeps taking up space on my drive. Can I uninstall it or it will 'harm' my VS2017 installation in some way?
Also, I'm not sure if Microsoft VS2015 Shell (Isolated) is needed at all?
Can I get rid of both installations?
Uninstalling VS2015 Tools for Xamarin was ok, but VS2015 Shell Isolated is required by MS SQL Server, so don't uninstall.
I have recently installed Visual Studio(VS) 2015 on my desktop on Windows operating system. I thought when I opened the VS 2015, I expected to see the Xamarin in it, but it does not. Then I installed the Xamarin again, and again and again, but still Xamarin does not show up in VS 2015.
I wonder what is wrong? what am I missing? By the way, I still have Visual Studio 2013 on my system.
solution:
uninstall all the existing versions of visual studio ( 2010, 2012, 2013) except Visual Studio 2015 and then install Xamarin, and then you could able to see Xamarin on Visual Studio 2015.
Hope this will useful for you.,

I installed Visual Studio Community 2015 on Windows 7 x64 after multiple troubles. The solution was to reset my notebook, update all I can on Windows Update, stop the antivirus and then install Visual Studio Community 2015
Now I need Visual Studio Community 2015 on another notebook, almost the same model and nothing works. I tryed most of the tips from this post
Visual Studio 2015 installer hangs during install?
and nothing. Allways stuck on kb2999226 thing.
Some users talks about installing from the ISO but on the official link
https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs
I don't find the ISO, only the web installer file.
Where can I download the Visual Studio Community 2015 ISO?
On the link you provided, you have to click on Visual Studio 2015 and then select radio button ISO and then press download, everything should go fine
I have a Windows 8.1 computer with Visual Studio Community 2015 installed and no other version of Visual Studio. I want to install Visual Studio Community 2013 because this is required to use C++ with Unreal Engine 4. But I get
this error message when I try to install.
So I restarted my computer, and the same error message still shows up. I have tried installing from an executable from the Visual Studio webpage, and from a button in Unreal Engine 4 that opens the Visual Studio 2013 installer. What could be the problem? Thanks.
From memory, you're supposed to be able to install multiple versions of visual studio, provided you install them chronologically.
Make a backup.
Then try uninstalling VS 2015. Then installing VS 2013, then re-installing VS 2015.
Better yet, do this in a virtual machine.
- Additionally; A virtual machine will allow you to install VS 2013 in isolation, so that you won't need to uninstall VS 2015.
I have Windows 8 machine.
I had visual studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 installed on my computer.
I installed the visual studio 2013 preview, and the 8.1 WDK.
After I installed Visual Studio 2013, my old project in C++ wasn't able to be compiled (in Visual Studio 2012) so I uninstalled Visual Studio 2013 and the WDK.
But the issue remains, i cannot compile my C++ project. I get error message such as "Windows.h cannot be found" I looked at the include directory and saw that I have the following include: $(WindowsSDK_IncludePath). but when I open "Macros>>" I can't this macro "$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath)".
I tried to uninstall Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 and reinstall them but it didn't fix the issue.
Does anyone know what might cause this issue and how to resolve it?
In order to build windows 8 apps in visual studio 2013, you must be using windows 8.1. (defined here). This is possibly the issue.
You also wouldn't see the windows sdk include path because the wdk would be uninstalled. I would recommend one of two things
get visual studio 2012 again, and download the windows 8 sdk
get windows 8.1, then install visual studio 2013, and use the windows 8.1 sdk
I know, its quite silly.
