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.

Environment:
Windows10 Professional Visual Studio 2017 Unity 2017.4.12f1
I changed the default installation path of Visual Studio 2017 and installed it successfully.
The install path as follows:
D:\win10\Program\visual_studio\2017
However, in the Build setting of Unity, it still can't find my Visual Studio 2017.
How can I solve the problem? Thanks~
Go to Edit > Preferences, and select your Visual Studio to be the preferred external editor. Use Browse if Visual Studio is not listed. More info here.
You need to install windows 10 SDK

Here's a third answer. I just bumped in to this, and checked that yes VS was the preferred editor, so I went to open up VS to try uninstalling and reinstalling the GameDevWithUnity workflow, but VS popped up a dialog saying I needed to reboot my computer before installation could complete. So it seems like VS was stuck in the middle of an upgrade, which makes it reasonable that Unity couldn't find an appropriate version. I rebooted and everyone is happy.

Try to download this tool TotalUninstaller.zip from here.
Perform these steps to complete uninstall Visual Studio:
Extract .zip file
Open an administrator command prompt
Execute Setup.ForcedUninstall.exe
Type 'Y' to uninstall
I have Visual Studio 2013 which included "PreEmptive Dotfuscator and Analytics".
It's always worked fine for me until recently.
Suddenly it will not open from Visual Studio, icon or commandline.
Even when I manually open it, it does not show up in the task manager.
It simply does nothing.
There's nothing in the Event Viewer logs.
Visual Studio shows no error.
Basically, I can't even begin to find the problem.
I tried to find a download to attempt to reinstall it but all I've seen on the website for this version is that it's included in VS2013.
There's other sites in search results which claim to have the installer but none I trust.
Has anyone had this issue in the past?
It's Visual Studio 2013 Professional on Windows 8.1.
I'm not sure how to address this so I would greatly appreciate any possible input.
Thanks in advance!
You can try uninstalling, wiping the settings, and reinstalling. Dotfuscator Community Edition is uninstallable via the Windows control panel. Once uninstalled, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\PreEmptive Solutions. You may be able to reinstall it as a component via the Visual Studio installer. If not, it is actually a standalone installer, so if you have a Visual Studio disc or .iso, it will be in \packages\Dotfuscator.
I have visual studio 2013 ultimate installed and recently uninstalled visual studio 2015 community, to upgrade to enterprise 2015.
I had trouble uninstalling 2015, but eventually running the setup and choosing for repair/uninstall did the job. This didn't work for 2013 so I haven't been able to uninstall 2013 yet.
Anyhow, when I try to install enterprise I just get the splash screen for a few seconds, and then it disappears and nothing happens. Which was also the case when I tried to uninstall either visual studio versions earlier.
Why is visual studio such a pain to install/uninstall and how do I solve it?
Thanks!
I got this error I could see the splash screen then it dissapeared and the executable just continued running in the background but no GUI was shown.
A full uinstall and reinstall did not solve the issue.
I solved it by completely removing all the registry settings for Visual Studio 2015 that can be found under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Remove all subdirectories with 14 in them:
Now when restarting you get to log into your MSDN account and the GUI starts working after that.
I'm struggling on an installation problem with visual studio ultimate 2013: after the download of the web installer I tried to open it but the installer started just for a split second and than it went away, I tried with the iso, same story, tried to repair the .net framework but nothing's changed, I also made an attempt running as administrator but even that didn't work.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance.
