I'm trying to install visual studio 2013. I have an iso file and I'm mounting image to drive but the installation doesn't process anything after displaying Visual Studio logo and a black rectangle after that.
Visual Studio logo appears. See Image
Now logo gets disappear and there is a black rectangle box in front of me.
See Image
I can move the box by pressing mouse button and moving it even with 2 inch below the box.
I have Windows7 32 bit with service pack 1 installed in my desktop. Core i3 and Intel HD graphics. I have Titanium Studio, Visual Studio 2010 and other regular softwares installed as well.
The exactly same issue happens when I attempt to install VS2012.
I googled quite a while and found some topics on https://social.msdn.microsoft.com complaining this issue. Basically, the answers ask to check Windows Update and make sure it's up-to-date, especially .NET framework to version 4.5.x. So I do this, and after installing updates and restarting several times, it finally works. Maybe you can try this way too.
I found solution for myself. I was using a software which was protecting my pc's graphic driver and was using another one. I removed that and VS installed as usually.
You should try to install at least once without any driver in your system if you are facing such issue.
In my case it was a missing file machine.config in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG. I copied the file from another PC and installation of VS2013 immediately started, and completed successfully.

This might be a stupid question, but I can't solve it for hours and it is killing me.
I'm trying to install visual studio in my lab computer, which runs Win7. The problem is, when I execute visual studio installer, it does not do anything after showing the Visual studio logo and is utterly unresponsive (only a black square pops up). At first, i thought it might be loading for a long time, but after leaving for few hours and still it does nothing.
I've tried to install it using ISO images, or even tried previous versions(2013 and 2012) but failed.
Formatting would be a simple answer, but it is practically impossible since it is used by multiple members in our lab, so I can't occupy it for too long to format and installing all other existing software.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you for even reading this question. I would appreciate even more if I can get an answer!
You should install all Windows Updates and also update the GPU driver. The setup is based on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) which uses GPU to accelerate the UI so also up to date drivers are recommend.
I recently, upgraded to Windows 10 and got Visual Studio 2015 Community hoping to build UWP apps and ASP.Net 5 apps. At first, I installed everything, but ended up skipping / canceling the Windows 8.1 / 10 mobile emulators (my PC can't even run them). After everything was installed, I went to create a new UWP app (C#), and got this error:
Next, I try the same thing, but with JavaScript. It works perfectly! on the same UAP 10.0.0.0 that is supposedly missing. The link it provides is completely useless (it sends me to http:/microsoft.com/en-us) -_-. Oddly, this only happens when I try to use C# or VB.Net, JavaScript UWP apps seem to work fine. What is going on here? Where can I find the real link to the SDK I need?
UPDATE
JavaScript UWP apps will be create just fine, but when I attempt to build, I get:
Error "10.0.0.0" is not a supported value forTargetPlatformVersion.
Please change it on the Project Property page. Test
C:\Program Files (x86) \MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.\JavaScript\Microsoft.VisualStudio.JavaScript.UAP.targets
This is the download link for the standalone SDK, maybe reinstalling the sdk will fix the problem.

Normally you don't always have to reinstall visual studio when something goes wrong because it takes a lot of time to reinstall again. From your question you skipped/cancel that feature, the first thing to do is go to the control panel and double click on visual studio under programs to Modify the software and enable those features.
In the case, visual studio was working properly before but due to some updates it stopped, go to control panel right click the visual studio version you have under programs to repair.
If the above doesn't work try to reinstall it again. I hope this helps.
I've tried both the ISO and the web installer. Neither works, they both give the same error. I get the splash screen for a few seconds, and then a popup comes up and says that it has simply "stopped working." I've got the latest .NET installed (4.5.2), both Intel HD Graphics drivers and my NVIDIA drivers up to date as well. I've tried all of the solutions I can see that people had for this issue to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.
Look at ActivityLog.xml and EventViewer (probably for errors in devenv.exe) to get more details. And specify what version of VS13 and any Update packs you're trying to install. Also if you had any previous versions installed and if you're on a 32 or 64 bit system.
the full path of that folder would be c:\users(your user login)\App Data\Microsoft . but make sure you have it set to see hidden files and folders.
And again - which VS13 are you trying?
Try to uninstall:
"Intel HD graphics driver" (generic driver)
Or try an updated graphics driver.
It works for me in Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio 2015.
Visual Studio 2013 for Desktop is displaying incorrectly. When I open the program, it displays correctly but upon moving my cursor over links or images inside of the interface, they either expand to fill the whole window or the line itself blurs.
I'm running Windows 8.1. I've run it in compatibility mode for XP, Vista, and 7. I've run as administrator. I've reinstalled and repaired. This error is easily reproducible and has occurred over the course of 3 days.
Any help would be appreciated.
Can only guess that your video card vendor happens to maintain a bad driver (or Windows Update pushed a bad version to your machine).

The workaround is to disable hardware graphics acceleration and test again.
I have installed VS 2012 some days ago.After activation there are some strange lines in the UI
that appear on menu and code editor area.I don't know how to get rid of them.

another example while repairing VS : Picture
VS2010 and 2012 use WPF for their UIs - it's likely this issue is with your graphics card or driver. Please ensure you're running the latest graphics driver versions. If the issue continues then I suggest you try running other WPF applications and seeing if they render things okay.
