Just bought a laptop and want to put Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 on it, but it takes forever to do anything.
My first time installing it, it got stuck on a very common problem. Web Deploy 3.0 - Certificate warning or Unable to locate package source error. Since the installation crashed, I installed Web Deploy 3.5 (the latest version) manually to get around this issue.
When I try and install again, it says I need to uninstall or repair first. However, it won't uninstall or repair. For repair, it sat on Creating a system restore point all night` and for uninstall it sat on something I can't remember the other night.
Is it possible to uninstall Visual Studio 2012 via the command prompt and what are the commands to do that?

I'm trying to uninstall Visual Studio Professional 2012 (I have 2015 now) on Windows 10, but it's stuck on "Applying: Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Shell (Minimum)." The second loading bar is almost full and won't go higher. I left my laptop on overnight so it could uninstall yet it's still here.
To uninstall the VS 2012, you can check this: How to uninstall Visual Studio 2012 and it describes the manual removal and forcibly uninstall methods. You can first uninstall the main product like VS 2012 professional, then uninstall the other supporting products that may be installed.
Make sure you uninstall the VS 2012 professional by the administrator account and if the manual removal failed, you can try to forcibly uninstall through the command: vs_professional.exe /uninstall /force. It can forcibly remove almost all components and for the detail information, you can have a look at this blog.
If the uninstall still failed, you can use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.zip under %temp% folder then upload the file to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.
I'll get straight to the point here.
I've been having loads of problems installing Visual Studio 2015 Community recently. I previously had Visual Studio 2012, but decided to uninstall it and install 2015 since I've started using 2015 at college.
Originally I was using Windows 7 Professional when I was having the issues, but it persists with Windows 10. The exact issue is that when I try to install Visual Studio, it progresses a little bit and then stops at "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210" and then doesn't progress past that. It will keep installing that for as long as I let it, and when I try to stop the download, it will not close and I will have to restart my PC. See here:

I contacted Microsoft support, which, I have to say, is appalling, and they recommended that I try to install it after performing a clean boot. I did that, and it seemed to be working, but I got multiple other errors. See here:

As I need this programme to help with college work, you can see how this would be a huge inconvenience for me, and since Microsoft support is so terrible, I decided to come here to ask for help.
So, would you please help me figure this out?
Refer to the log file, I found the error message 'The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210 cannot be removed', you can have a try with the following to troubleshot this issue:
Make sure run the installer as administrator.
Go to Control Panel—Programs and Features and if you can find any versions of Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, right-click and repair. After that, re-run the VS installer as administrator to repair. If not works, uninstall the installed Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable versions and re-run the VS installer again.
You can also use the MsiInv tool: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2005/07/01/using-msiinv-to-gather-information-about-what-is-installed-on-a-computer/ to obtain all Windows Installer products, features and components that Windows Installer thinks are installed on your computer, then manually uninstall the Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.24210 by running msiexec /x command. After that, re-run the VS installer as administrator.
Download the Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable from https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/download/details.aspx?id=48145 and install it, then re-run the VS installer to repair.
I am trying to install the Lync 2013 SDK on Visual studio 2015, but I get an error saying "MSVS2010 SP1 or higher not found. Go here to download and install"
I've looked up the issue on the web, and the closest thing to a solution is installing a cumulative update, but that was for VS2013, nor can I find any Place to actually download the file.
What do I have to do to complete the Lync 2013 SDK setup?
To install the SDK, you can fake that you have an earlier version of Visual Studio. At least, that seemed to work for me.
What I did was export the registry entries at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Setup\vs, searched and replaced VisualStudio\14.0 with VisualStudio\12.0 and imported those registry entries again.
That allowed me to install the SDK and I subsequently removed those imported entries again.
Please make sure (using regedit) that you are not overwriting any existing entries of course.
Previously I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate version in my system. Its is working fine.
Later I am trying to install 2013 also but it is not installing properly and giving error message like attached image.After that VS2012 also is not working properly. Then I tried to Install Vs2012 also again. But this installation process also giving same error. I can not able to upload image due to reputation.
This is the exact error:
"Visual Studio Core Fetures Fatal error during installing.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Core Libraries Package failed.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Microsoft Foundation Class Library Package failes."
Please help me to install visual studio 2012 & 2013.
Because Visual Studio requires many components to be installed, and if they are not, VS will install them. However, when you uninstall VS, it will not remove these components automatically because it does not record which component is installed by it and which exists before VS is installed. Other applications might need these components to work.
When you uninstall VS2012, you really only remove VS itself. Then you try to install VS2013 and meet an error, and that may be the problem. To make things worse, you did not clean uninstall VS2013 either, which caused the later errors when you try to reinstall VS2012.
You may as well try to clean uninstall VS 2012 and the same goes for VS 2013, just some Google work.
I hope this will help you a little.
