Error when installing of VS 2013 (Access denied) - visual-studio-2013

I'm trying to install VS 2013 RTM on my laptop with Windows 7 (x64) SP1 and at the end it gives the following error. I've looked at that KB article and it mentions a hotfix that comes with VS 2012 (i don't have it installed on my machine). Any ideas about how to fix it?

I faced with the same issue during VS 2013 installation on my laptop. In general, even with this issues VS is working well, but VS addons won't see your installation. The reason of such behavior - issue with windows update service.
From my installation log: Error 0x80070005: Failed to open WU service.
Please see article on technet, answer from Della Li: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/5728fc8d-4ba7-4d08-994a-2144b79a8f96/windows-update-wont-work?forum=w7itprogeneral
After listed there actions try to repair/reinstall your VS. It should help.

while installing new VS 2015 Enterprise edition on Windows 7 machine, I got below error... it was strange and could not find any help from Googling...
finally saw the log file and search with the KB2999226, it was referring Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu may be did not have access. I did that installation manually and hence it started working.
so manually install the file "Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64.msu" from "$VS folder\packages\Patch\x64" .
then run it.

Error Message During the Installation of Microsoft Visual c++ 2015

I have problem trying to install visual c++ 2015. All I get is error Message. The error message is 0x80240017. I have tried several solutions provided online but it seems none of them is working for me. Some will tell me to fully uninstall then restart my PC and try to do the installation again.
I'm running windows 7 32bit.
Thanks so much in advance.
I'm very grateful to everyone.
I found the solution to my problem. The specifications of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 indicate that your Operating System must have a Service Pack. Eg service pack 1 for win7.
You can check this by checking the properties of my computer. Right under the operating system it will be indicated if you have a service pack or not.
To get a service pack for windows 7 try to check for updates. Make sure you see service Pack 1. Or whatsoever. If not install the updates available and restart your PC then check for updates again. Then it should be there.
Thanks house for your contribution

Error installing Visual Studio 15 Preview 4 - Windows 7 SP1 requires KB2952664

As per the latest announcement from Microsoft here I'm trying to install Visual Studio 15 Preview 4 on my machine. My machine is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition. I had already installed Visual Studio 15 Preview 3 but now I want to install Preview 4. The moment I try to run the installer "vs_bootstrapper.exe" downloadable from above mentioned URL it fails with following error.
Windows 7 SP1 requires KB2952664.
It shows the above message in a message box without any other redirection to some error log file or retry option.
I also tried running the installer exe with administrative privileges as well but to no success. I'm stuck. Can anyone help me if you also have faced or fixed this issue?
Note: I'm on a hyper-v box.
Visual Studio community link from Daniel A. White helped me resolve this issue. The problem is faced by many users and you can find the details here.
Quoting from the thread:
It seems that installer is looking for a file named "dismapi.dll".
This file has to be present in either %windir%\system32 or
%windir%\SysWow64 or any subdirectory.
A (dirty) workaroud is to create an empty file named dismapi.dll in
any of those directories and then you can install Preview 4... :)
As suggested in the problem thread, creating a dummy dismapi.dll file in %windir%\SysWow64 path helped me get past this issue. After creating the dummy file, the welcome page of the installer finally popped-up. The first solution to create the dummy file in %windir%\system32 didn't work for me. The two alternative solutions could be OS dependent. Mine was Windows Server 2008 R2.

Installing Xamarin for VS 2015 not working

I recently installed VS 2015 Enterprise. Im trying to add Xamarin for VS from the setup menu, and when downloading it just hangs at this point for hours and eventually says an error was encountered. This is my 5th installation attempt. I dont have any other VS version installed on my machine.
Try this:
Download Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 and install from the following link: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999?locale=en_US
Then activate bonjour service in win10. Refer to:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7420758?start=0&tstart=0
Then you can re-install VS to see if it works.
By the way, that's an open bug.
Have you tried to install it by downloading the kit from xamarin.com? What do you mean by "from the setup menu"?

Microsoft visual studio 2013 installation failing

During installation I am getting an error Microsoft visual studio 2013 VsGraphic Helper Dependencies RC Incorrect Function
I was trying to install from ISO image and using web installer as well, getting same error in both cases. I am on Windows 7 x64 Dell XPS 16 with VS 2012 installed
Is there any workaround?
Original blog here.
Running offline installer from ISO is possible, see if below solutions work or not.
Mount the iso with any virtual cd software
Copy the mounted content to a local folder, e.g. C:\temp\vs2013\
Run “vs_ultimate.exe” from the local folder
-->
According to this article, there is a bug when downloading and using the ISO image. The web installer is preferred. This does of course make it harder to put it on a flash drive, which is unfortunate. Tee article is also about installing on a Windows 8.1 machine, while I'm using Windows 7 Professional. However, I expect that the issue is the same.

Please bear in mind that the ISO installer leaves a lot of stuff behind when it fails - you need to uninstall it all and reboot before trying the web installer.
Visual Studio 2013 RTM is already available for download.
I didn't get any more issues during installation with this one.
I had the same issue.
Turns out that launching the setup with admin privileges worked for me.
I have the same error using:
Windows 8.1
ISO VS 2013 ultimate
I try copy contents in local, and I get the same error.
solution:
verify checksum of ISO. Get file again, copy to local.
Uninstall the failed version of 2013 from control panel -> Uninstall programs
Restart the computer
Clean %temp%
Mount ISO, execute as Administrator setup.exe
Re-run the setup again

I had the same issue, I'd downloaded the VS2013 Ultimate ISO from MSDN on Thursday when the announcement email went out but I had errors trying to install. I checked the SHA1 and it didn't match what is now on the site (Monday) so I downloaded the ISO again and it worked now.
I'm on Win7sp1 with vs2012 installed.
Just make sure you have updated your windows. (Restart windows after update)
If you have the ISO then mount it to virtual drive and then run the installer. (Don't extract and run)
Hope above instructions will help.
Note: Follow same process for VS 2015 installation.

Problem installing visual studio service pack on Windows 7

I recently installed Windows 7, then installed Visual Studio 2008.
I would like to install SP1 for Visual Studio in order to use MVC but I got an error.
I found an answers on SO that suggested a certain patch. I anstalled the patch but still have a problem, see a screenshot here.
What to do now?
That's a very weird error. Is this just a stock Windows 7 install? Any other weird errors occurring? It could be a corruption in memory or on disk...
Yeah, I got this while trying to do the exact same thing--was even going to build an MVC app. The solution was to uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio.
i Finally found Problem And Solution
in the error log of windows vista refer error to network and disk error
then i copy all file from vs sp1 image to my hard disk and then disable network connection and it install successfully
special thanks friends
