Can't install VS2013 Ultimate or uninstall VS2012 - visual-studio

I've been trying to install Visual Studio 2013 for HOURS and I have no idea what to do. Every time I launch the setup I get:
"Setup detected an issue during the operation. Please click below to check for a solution and help us to improve the setup experience".
After that it tells me to check my CBS.log file, and I understand none of the contents, but here it is: http://pastebin.com/zQdfHW7n
I am running Win8.1 preview.
I've tried the following:
- Running it as admin
- Running it in comp. mode (WinXP, Vista, Win7, Win8)
- Uninstalling VS2012 (but getting the exact same error)
Someone please help! :(

Visual Studio 2022 Community Unable to Run after uninstalling VS2022 Community Preview

Afternoon all,
I had been using the Visual Studio 2022 Preview. Recently I decided to switch to the Release version. I uninstalled VS2022 Preview and installed the 2022 Community Release.
The install runs fine and completes with no issues. However when trying to run VS2022 It comes up with the error attached below.
From my talks with MS found at https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Unable-to-launch-VS-Comunity-2022-after/1596301?entry=myfeedback&viewtype=all It appears VS2022 Community should be running version 17.0 of the .Threading DLL. However no matter what I have tried it refuses to load.
I have run the uninstaller with -F. Re-installed several times.
Attempted to install 17.0 to the GAC but this does not change the outcome
As per the post on the developer community pretty much everything short of re-installing windows (Which I am 100% trying to avoid)
I ran the FusionLog viewer (Attached) and it looks like there is something re-binding this to the 17.1 .threading version however I know very little about how this works and where I might find a solution, Hence, I am here :). Although my post on the DeveloperCommunity is still active I'm hoping a resolution here maybe faster!
Thank you!
I have this error too, and its becouse you dont have defined startup project.
Right click on your startup project and choose "set as startup project".
Actually the above is incorrect, you can't even get to the startup screen.
The correct answer is you need to remove the V15 version of the dll from the GAC. Instructions from MS can be found here.

SQL Server Management Studio 16.4.1 - Will not run

Yesterday I updated SSMS from 16.3 to 16.4.1, rebooted and then installed the Window 10 Anniversary Update from Windows update. Everything on my PC seemed to be running fine.
However, trying to open SSMS today for the first time since the update and nothing happens. There is no error message and nothing is created in Event Viewer.
I have tried repairing the installation, which didn't fix the problem, and reinstalling the application which again did not fix the problem.
I can see in Process Monitor that the process exits with status 0 and it doesn't appear there is any effort made to write to a log file.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue with this release?
Edit: The problem is resolved by uninstalling 16.4.1 and reinstalling 16.3, which makes me think something is broken in the latest release.
It appears the solution, after rolling back to 16.3, was to install the Community edition of Visual Studio 2015 and then install 16.4.1 again.

Xamarin 4.1.1.3 install fails requiring Build Tools that are already installed

I have VS Community 2015 installed on a Windows 7 machine.
Few days ago new Xamarin version, the 4.1.1.3 one, has been released.
I have tried to install it (upgrading from 4.1.0.350) many times but every time I receive message about Build Tools requirement, even if the Build Tools 2013 and 2015 are correctly installed on the machine.
I have tried to reinstall Build Tools, repair VS and actual Xamarin installation without any success.
What may I check to be able to upgrade?
Thanks in advance for any help I will receive.
Am not sure if you were lucky enough to find a solution yet.
I faced a similar issue and was able to overcome it by :
1)First running the VS as Administrator.
2)Then Follow the normal update process Via Tools -> Options -> Xamarin -> Other
You will be asked to close VS during installation which is OK.
I guess that means the update process needs to access some files which require Admin rights? anyway it worked for me and I hope it works for you as well.
All the best!.

InPageError while installing Visual Studio

I have a big problem. I need to install Visual Studio 2010 but I get this error:
Suite Intergration Toolkit Executable has stopped workingg
Problem Event Name: InPageError
Error Status Code: c0000010
I have also tried to extract the .iso and run the setup.exe. The instalation fails in this case, too.
Also, when I tried chkdsk F: /R in cmd I got: "Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected".
I would like to mention that I have recently reinstalled windows 7 on my laptop.
What drivers should I check?
How could I solve this? I really need to install Visual Studio for a project that I have to work on.
thank you!
It's solved, but I don't really know why...
I only changed the boot order and I made some windows updates.
Then I run the setup and it all worked.

Visual studio 2012 wont install fully

Im trying to install visual studio 2012 to my 64bit windows 8 laptop but it just wont install fully, every time i run the application it keeps asking me to modify, repair or uninstall, I have done this many times and spent time trying to figure this out. I really need to install this soon. Is there something im doing wrong or is there something im missing. please help
could be your Windows installer corrupted.
I would suggest you do a system restore to a working point, then be sure to run the setup in Administrator mode. What happens when you do this?
