Visual studio 2013 update 3 is installed on my machine. Before the update I wrote a WCF service and I could publish the service with no problem. Now after the update I can public. When I go and publish I get a error.
So this did not make scene to me, but I followed the link and downloaded the executable and when I run it, it tells me that it is installed. Even when I go Tools>Extension and Updates it is there.
I open VS in administrator mode to see if I can Uninstall and re-install the extension but hen I click on the uninstall button nothing happens. Why is VS2013 doing this and how can I fix this?

I'm using Visual Studio 2012. Recently I find extension for JS unit test doesn't load. I goto menu Tools->Extensions abd Updates, the extension's Enable button is disabled. I tried a few ways to fix this:
Reinstall JS unit test extension
Reinstall latest version of extension
Repair Visual Studio
I almost try to reinstall Visual Studio. How to solve this?
One possible reason is, you are running Visual Studio as administrator, and the extension is installed by another user of this computer. For this case:
Goto menu Tools->Options->Environment->Extensions and Updates, check Load per users extension when running as administrator.
I am trying to install Multi-Device Hybrid Apps extension on Visual Studio 2013 (Ultimate). But Installation got stuck when Android SDK being install. I have waited for 2 to 3 hours but it stuck there. I have cancelled the process and tried again but same issue.
Can anyone help me to fix this issue?
Thank you
I had a similar problem for Visual Studio 2015 RC1. The Android images take a long time to download, especially if you are downloading other things on the same network and have slow internet.
I found the AndroidSDK_SI.log file in %temp% and it shows it was actually still downloading even after 3 hours!
I believe the installer really needs to show better feedback. It seemed like the installer was hung, but it was actually downloading very slowly. Something as dirty as an option to read the currently running log file being in a text box would even help.
You can also kill the SecondaryInstaller.exe in Task Manager to stop the Android SDK sub-installer. You can then try fix it yourself or Repair Visual Studio if the install continues and completes.
Repair is available by right clicking on Visual Studio in the Microsoft Windows "Programs and Features" control panel section and clicking "Change". This will bring up a Visual Studio dialog where you can Modify or Repair the install.
I have built and tested (with a spawned debug run of Visual Studio) a Visual Studio 2010 extension. When I double-click the Release version of the extension, it says, it successfully installed to Studio.
However, when I restart Studio, it does not see the extension in the Extension Manager, and the extension functionality is not working. Because it is not seen in the Manager, I can't even uninstall it and try again.
Why is this happening and what to do?
I did cleanup all the Registry keys that have the name of the extension in their name or value. Still the problem persists.
I moved the project to another location, renamed, and this time it did install again, but again, Studio Extension Manager does not see it.
I did build and install extensions before and I am following the same steps, correctly I think.
I use VS10 and recently NuGet1.6 came out and I tried to do normal update and it kept failing with the following message,
"Install Error : VSIXInstaller.SignatureMismatchException: The signature on the update version of 'NuGet Package Manager' does not match the signature on the installed version. Therefore, Extension Manager cannot install the update.
at VSIXInstaller.Common.VerifyMatchingExtensionSignatures(IInstalledExtension installedExtension, IInstallableExtension updateExtension)
at VSIXInstaller.InstallProgressPage.BeginInstallVSIX(SupportedVSSKU targetAppID)
"
Then I read somewhere someone said just uninstall NuGet and re-install it, well I uninstalled NuGet in the Control Panel of Windows, because the Uninstall button of NuGet in VS10 is grayed out (why is this the case?). But still could not install NuGet1.6, it run into the same error. Could someone help please!
Thanks.
You might need to Run Visual Studio 2010 As Administrator in order to get the NuGet 1.6 extension installed.
I agree that it is silly that the upgrade from within VS2010 doesn't work. I have tried this several times across several machines (a home workstation without any restrictions, a work machine with tied down profiles) and it always fails.
There is a known issue when upgrading NuGet to 1.6 from an older version when running Visual Studio SP1. From the NuGet 1.6 Release Notes:
If you are running VS 2010 SP1, you might run into an installation
error when attempting to upgrade NuGet if you have an older version
installed.
The workaround is to simply uninstall NuGet and then install it from
the VS Extension Gallery. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2581019
for more information.
Note: If Visual Studio won't allow you to uninstall the extension (the
Uninstall button is disabled), then you likely need to restart Visual
Studio using "Run as Administrator."
Run Visual Studio 2010 Administrator, and the UnInstall option is available.
Uninstall --> Restart --> Install new version.
I couldn't run Visual Studio as Administrator, so I just uninstalled the extension from VS, downloaded the VSIX file from the Visual Studio Gallery, then ran the install.
