Visual Studio 2015 Preview install error - visual-studio

I am trying to install the new preview for Visual studio 2015, every time I run the installer I get the error:
This version of Visual Studio requires the April 2014 update to Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 known as KB 2919355.
I have run the windows updater, so don't know what the problem is.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you fix it?

When I've tried to install KB 2919355 - I got next message:
this update is not applicable to your windows...
Than from '''Known issues with this update''' section I've installed next updates:
2939087
2975061
Rebooted system and installed 2919355 update again.

This was my major problem after a fresh install of Windows 8.1 Pro. When i was trying to install Visual Studio Community it required the KB 2919355 and i was more careful and downloaded the specific update for x64 system architecture.. and it worked for me !

Error installing ngrok extension in VS2019

I have a machine with Windows 10 and VS2019 and VS2022 installed, I have tried to Install the extension through the VS extensions manager, however when I restart I get an error that says: "This extension cannot be installed in any of the currently installed products . " Is there any solution?
This extension was not updated since 18/10/2019 and is not compatible with Visual Studio 2022. Raise an issue with the extension creator but don't hold your breath as it hasn't been touched for 2 years.
Here's a VS2022 'works on my machine' build of the VSIX -

Visual Studio 2017 does not detect Windows Driver Kit installation

I already have Visual Studio 2017 professional with Desktop Development with C++ installed.
I am trying to build the Virtual Serial project found here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/serial/VirtualSerial
When I try to build it, I get the error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB8020 The build tools for WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 (Platform Toolset = 'WindowsUserModeDriver10.0') cannot be found. To build using the WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 build tools, please install WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution". virtualserial C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets
I cannot find any instructions on installation aside from this website.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/download-the-wdk
I downloaded the WDK for Windows 10, version 1803.
I closed VS2017 and ran the installer.
When running the installer I got the message in the screenshot below, I clicked Next to continue installing
After running the installer, the project still does not build, with the same error: WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 is not installed.
What am I missing during installation? Is this the correct installer for regular VS2017 (not community edition)?
Thanks,
I know this is old, but I recently fell into this rabbit hole. What worked for me was uninstalling all of the WDKs, rebooting, and installing WDK 1803 (the wdksetup.exe program downloaded from Other WDK downloads shows version 10.0.17134.1 in properties). That WDK installer specifically calls out VS 2017 when you add the Visual Studio integration at the end of the install process.
In my situation, I installed vs2022 with SDK 19041 and WDK 19041.
After some testing, I realized that VS2022 only supports WDK 22621(so on this date). So I installed WDK 22621 and SDK 22621, and problem solved.
If you still can't find Kernel Driver Build option, try run this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Vsix\VS2022\10.0.22621.0\WDK.vsix(WDK 19041 only has VS2019). It's a Visual Studio's extension.
According to this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware-winpc/windows-wdk-on-visual-studio-2017-community/fdbd2b44-e57a-4849-903d-04001205a764
WDK is not currently supported by visual studio 2017.
This is ridiculous

Visual Studio 2017 installer fails to install KB2533623

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2017 Community via web installer on my Windows 7 laptop and it fails, returning me this log:
dd_setup_..._error.log (translated into English from me, since it was in German)
Package "WindowsUpdates.KB2533623,version=15.0.26711.1,chip=x64" could not be installed.

Command executed: "C:\Windows\system32\dism.exe" /online /quiet /norestart /add-package /packagepath:"C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\462b07d7-22c4-4fb6-8bd8-78e9e210c711\Windows6.1-KB2533623-x64.cab" /logPath:"C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_setup_20170916213606_141_WindowsUpdates.KB2533623.log"
Code returned: 1168
Codedetails returned: Element not found.
KB2533623 is not installed at my Laptop, so I tried to install KB2533623 x64 by myself, but it's rejecting with the words "The update is not applicable to your computer".
After some research I found SCCMENTOR who is claiming KB2533623 is superseded by KB2758857, so I tried to uninstall KB2758857, first. There was an error that I could not uninstall all updates. Repeating the step in a local system CMD with wusa /uninstall /kb:2758857 returned 0x80070490. Microsoft suggests to scan the system for corrupt files with sfc /scannow, so I did. It found some errors and fixed them.
I repeated wusa /uninstall /kb:2758857 and it returned 0x80070bc9. Then I restarted and tried it another time and it gives me 0x80070490, again.
I'm not sure I'm on the right path, maybe KB2533623 is not the problem here. How can I fix the problem, so the Visual Studio installer is able to install KB2533623 that is required by so many components of the suite? If KB2533623 is really superseded by KB2758857, why the installer tries to install KB2533623 at all, if KB2758857 is already installed on my laptop?
Microsoft fixed it in Visual Studio 2017 15.5 Preview 3
Visual Studio 2017 15.3 installation fails with „Failed to install WindowsUpdates.KB2533623“ error message.
Visual Studio 2017 install fails due to missing Windows6.1-KB2533623-x64.cab.
So wait for the Final of the Visual Studio 2017 version 15.5 and use the updated installer.
​Hello people!
I had the same problem, and I found that the KB2533623 superseded by KB2758857.
I checkout if this update was installed in my PC. You can check it running this command:
wmic qfe list | find "2758857"
This will show something like this if it was installed:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2758857 MyMachine Security Update KB2758857 AUTORIDADE NT\SISTEMA 9/2/2016
So, I removed it with this command:
wusa /uninstall /kb:2758857
After this I can install with success the visual studio 2017.
I hope it can help you.

It may be that you have tried to install the program before and that it corrupted some files, try downloading a remover.
I have had this problem with programs like malwarebytes before so i hope this also works for you. (but beware of virussus :D)
