I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2013 and when I click the autorun.exe to install the 'Visual Studio' logo just shows up and then disappears and it doesn't take me to the setup. The same happens with VS 2012 and with the web installers.
I was having other problems with VS before(couldn't install or unnistall, but that is solved. Tried to unnistall it with Revo Unnistaller and at the end it said run32dll was not working)

Run the installer right click as administrator.
Got a big problem with the Visual Studio 2017 Installer Projects Extension for Visual Studio 2017 Professional. I added a Visual Studio Installer Setup project to a solution and set it up the way it's basically supposed to be done (Primary Output in the Application Folder and an icon in the Desktop Folder is all that was needed). Then I right-clicked on the Setup project, clicked "Build" and then I get this:
Please wait while Windows configures Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013.
And then it stalls indefinitely. I have to close Visual Studio in Task Manager to stop everything. What's more, I'm Visual Studio Professional 2017, not 2013. I used to have Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate, but I uninstalled it. What could possibly be causing the confusion?
It appears that you have also got Visual Studio 2013 installed, and that there is as conflict between 2013 and 2017 because that message is a Windows Installer repair of VS 2013. Something is happening during your build that requires the VS 2013 installation to be repaired. The Windows Event Log (Application) will have an MsiInstaller log entry saying which component appears to be broken. If you post that information there may be a clue to the problem. If you (for example) have manually removed anything that may belong to the VS 2013 installed product then that would cause the same kind of problem.
You have this similar problem:
Rebuilding Visual Studio Installer project, launches Visual Studio 2013 seetup
Visual Studio 2015 msi build initiates another installation
When you say it stalls indefinitely, I would expect it to ask for the Visual Studio 2013 install image so that it can repair it. If you go to Programs&Features and manually repair VS 2013 it might fix the problem.
I also had Visual Studio 2013 installed as mentioned by #PhilDW.
Navigating to Event Viewer → Windows Logs → Application I found loads of warnings:
Detection of product '{9C593464-7F2F-37B3-89F8-7E894E3B09EA}', feature 'Visual_Studio_Professional_x86_enu', component '{E3FF99AA-78B9-4A06-8A74-869E9F65E1FE}' failed. The resource 'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath_GAC\' does not exist.
The key here being that the folder C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\URTInstallPath_GAC\ did not exist thanks to an answer in the first link provided by #PhilDW.
Created the missing final folder URTInstallPath_GAC in the path mentioned and the installers now build really fast whereas before they used to take forever (sometimes literally!).
I installed Visual Studio 2015 Preview, when I am trying to uninstall it by rerunning vs_Enterprise.exe, in the end it gives me this:
I also installed Visual Studio 2017 RC, trying to uninstall in the same way it gives the same error message.
When I click 'Modify' from
It gives me this error:
Now both are stuck there, I can't remove them and also can't reinstall them.
I also tried the possible solutions which I can find from google, and none of these works:
Uninstall from control panel:
Can't find Visual Studio 2015 Preview and Visual Studio 2017 RC in control panel's Programs and Features window
Run vs_enterprise.exe by using the /uninstall /force command-line:
can't find vs_enterprise.exe from Package Cache folders, somewhere like this:
"%ProgramData%\Package Cache",
Use VisualStudioUninstaller:
This doesn't work either.
When you install the VS 2017 RC on the Pc that already installed the VS “15” preview, the prior previews of Visual Studio "15" must be uninstalled first, so you not need to uninstall the VS “15” preview again. During installation of Visual Studio 2017 RC, a cleaning tool will automatically be run on your machine that will detect artifacts from a prior preview installation and then remove them, you can check Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Visual Studio 2017 RC.
To uninstall the VS 2017 RC and VS "15" preview edition, you can try to directly remove those 3 folders: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\VS15Preview, %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017 and %ProgramData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages, then re-run the VS 2007 RC installer as administrator, it should display as a new installation.
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 installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional and I cannot open a Web project in there. Before installing Visual Studio 2010 Pro, I had Visual Studio 2010 Web Developer Express installed. Would this be the cause of the problem? Do I need to uninstall both and reinstall VS 2010 Pro to get Web projects to work?
In order to resolve this issue, I had to click Tools->Import and Export Settings. Then, select Reset all settings. Before doing this, I had uninstalled Web Developer Express, but it should work without doing that.
