I've installed Visual Studio 2013 for Web on my Windows 7 client. During the installation, I lost my network connection. At the end, it seems the installation succeeds. But I found no entry in the start menu of windows.
So, I want to repair / uninstall Visual Studio.
I started the Uninstaller via System Control and I have the two buttons "Repair" and "Uninstall". In both scenarios, the question "Are you sure you want to cancel the setup?". If i click "No", the previous screen with the two buttons is displayed, if I click "Yes", the uninstaller closes....
Edit:
I also re-run the installer, but the same question, with the same results appear.
How can I uninstall Visual Studio?
try to install visual studio 2013 it should ask uninstall/repair.
try it and see if its helps

I recently installed Microsoft Visual Studio community verion 2015 on my computer for educational purposes. However while installation I conservatively chose not to install the source files for C/C++. Is there any way to rectify this? There doesn't seem to be any update menu in Visual Studio where I can do this.
You can have Visual Studio check for any updates itself by going to Tools > Extensions & Updates > Updates > Product Updates.
You can install any of the custom components (Visual C++, Visual F#, others) later if you don’t select them during the initial setup, there have some methods to modify VS to select the custom components to update and you can have a look at the following:
Go to Control Panel—Programs and Features, right click the Visual Studio Community 2015 with updates and Change, it popups the VS installer windows and click Modify button, then you can find the option ‘Visual C++’ under Programming Languages and check it, click ‘Next’ button to install it like the following screenshot.
If you still store the installer file of the Visual Studio Community 2015 with update 3 on your computer, right click it and run it as administrator, click Modify button and you can find the same installer windows as the above, check the option ‘Visual C++’ to install it.
Whenever I attempt to build a project in Visual Studio 2010 or 2013, I get a Windows Installer popup that says "Please wait while Windows configures Visual Studio".
How can I make this popup go away?
Root Cause:
Windows thinks that the installation is broken because of a missing folder.
Proper Solution:
Uninstall and reinstall the affected versions of Visual Studio.
Workaround
Create the following empty folder
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath_GAC
The presence of this folder will stop the popup from appearing.
I have Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web on my laptop but I want to install the full version of Visual Studio Express 2013 (for both Web and Windows Desktop).
Link to Visual Studio Express (full)
When I run the uninstaller from my Control Panel, nothing happens. It stays on this for hours. I've tried to run the setup.exe (downloaded from Microsoft) again and choose the "Uninstall" function but I couldn't because the same thing happened. I have also tried to run the setup for the full version of Visual Studio but without success. What should I do?
Do you uninstall with admin rights?
Is there a popup window in the background asking for user and password?
There was a problem with my Windows 8.1 and I reinstalled it. Now Visual Studio works perfectly!
I had this and a co-worker recommended that I simply try a second time. It sounded pointless without any changes, but it actually worked the second time. I cannot explain why. Just try it twice.
I've been using Resharper (v8.0.14.856) with VS2012 for some time now, but I've recently installed VS2013. However, Resharper does not appear in the menus for VS2013, or in the options (under Tools->Options).
I've re-run the installer, and selected VS2013. As far as the
installer is concerned, it is installed for VS 2013.
I've tried repairing the install.
I've tried deleting the
%AppData%Roaming\JetBrains folder (as suggested elsewhere).
I've read this:
http://resharper-support.jetbrains.com/entries/21204867-ReSharper-is-not-available-in-Visual-Studio-after-installation and I've tried running Visual Studio with /resetskippkgs command line
key.
I am an administrator, so I've run the installer as administrator, and I run VS2013 as administrator.
I've tried running in Compatibility mode for Windows 7
I've also tried contacting JetBrains, but have yet to receive a reply
Note. I don't have an "\Common7\IDE\Extensions" folder, but I don't have one for my VS2012 install either, and Resharper works just fine there.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
You need 8.1 to work with VS2013.

I had the same issue. I Googled around and found a blog post explaining how to add a previously installed Resharper to various newly installed versions of Visual Studio on your machine via the Windows Control Panel.
The article outlines these steps...
Go to 'Control Panel' and select 'Programs and Features'.
Select 'JetBrains ReSharper' and click on 'Change'.
The ReSharper Setup main dialog will appear, here click on 'Change'.
The ReSharper Setup integration options dialog will appear, check the Visual Studio version that that you wish to enable ReSharper in. Click 'Install'.
Here is the original blog post...

I had EntitySpaces Add-in for Visual Studio (all versions) installed. Upon uninstalling it, when you start up any version of Visual Studio, you get the message "could not rename add-in file". How do you get rid of this or stop Visual Studio from trying to load the Add-In?
It appears this can be a common problem when applications that install Add-Ins or just Add-Ins on their own, don't uninstall properly or just plain break.
For Visual Studio 2015 you have to:
Click on Tool -> Extensions and Updates.
Be sure that Installed option is selected in left part of the window.
Find your addin, select it and click on Uninstall button.
Restart Visual Studio.
There are a few helpful articles which may be useful for your particular Add-In:
http://www.mztools.com/articles/2006/mz2006018.aspx
First of all I tried this (which may work for you) How to: Deactivate and Remove an Add-In.
Note if you don't know the Namespace or ClassName of the addin, you can find it in the .addin file under FullClassName:
To remove an add-in from the integrated development environment (IDE)
Delete the .addin XML registration file for the add-in that you want
to remove. The default location is ..\Users\username\ Documents\Visual
Studio 2010\Addins\
At a Visual Studio command prompt, type devenv
/resetaddin Namespace.ClassName, where Namespace is the name of your
add-in project and Classname is its class name, for example, devenv
/resetaddin MyAddin1.Connect
For me this, although not my exact problem, lead to my resolution, which was simply to run Visual Studio as administrator. Doing this for just one version of Visual Studio solved my problem in that the error message no longer appeared (probably because it was then able to successfully rename as per the original error message).
In Visual Studio 2019, Click on Extensions tab. Then click on Manage Extensions. In the window that opens,select Installed in the left pane. After that search for the Add-in you want to remove. In the results displayed, select the Add-in the hit UNINSTALL. Restart Visual Studio for the process to be completed. The process seems to work for any Add-in.
