Microsoft visual studio 2013 installation failing - visual-studio

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.

Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017 installation failed to start

I'm trying to install the Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017 on my computer for Visual Studio 2017 v15.9.5.
I'm using Windows 10 and the version of the universal installer I'm using is 18.3.
Once I download the zip file and unzip all the contents, I then run the 'setup.exe' executable.
Once I run it, it asks for admin privileges and I give them to the installation.
Immediately after that, a console window blinks on the screen and nothing else happens. No other UI shows up and I'm not asked any questions or provided any error messages.
I have restarted my machine and attempted to install with no success.
Any assistance for getting the setup running would be greatly appreciated.
I found the issue.
I was running the executable in a directory so far down the directory tree that all the paths the executable was using were greater than 260 characters in length, which Windows has an issue with.

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.

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.

Installing VS2005 on Windows 7

I'm trying to install Visual Studio 2005 on a Windows 7 box but am repeatedly getting the same error. When I run the installer it starts to run then pops up with a message saying:
"A problem has been encountered while loading the setup components. Canceling setup."
Various suggestions has said that maybe the install is corrupted so I downloaded a fresh copy of the ISO from MSDN today, same issue. Another suggestion is that installing from the ISO may be the issue so I extracted the contents of the ISO to a folder on my HDD, same issue. I have also tried running the files as administrator and in XP compatability mode, same issue.
Searching for this issue the most common responses I've found have been about installing SP1, however I cannot get the base product to install and therefore cannot apply SP1.
Does anyone have any further suggestions as to what I can do to fix this issue and get VS2005 installed? If anyone wants any log files of any variety I am happy to supply so long as you tell me where to look as I'm not sure.
As for why I am using VS2005 and not a newer product, it is required for the ongoing support and maintenance of some older applications we manage. These cannot be easily migrated to a newer version of Visual Studio without some considerable investment of time and that would probably be longer than the time it will take to develop newer, replacement applications (which is currently in progress). Until the new applications are available though we need to maintain an environment to use.
Did you try running setup.exe in compatibility mode with Windows XP? Some discussion here on how to do this.
Another alternative since you alluded to having an MSDN subscription. Download Windows XP and install it into a VM. (If HyperV isn't already in installed with your Win7, you can add it from Control Panel->Programs&Features->Turn Windows Features on/off). Then install VS2005 from there.

Visual studio 2010 service pack 1 setup always rolling back

I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional version installed on my Windows 7 machine.
I am trying to install Visual Studio 2010 Service pack 1.
Every time the installation starts after some time rollback starts and installation fails.
I have tried using http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23691
Web Installer - this downloaded around 615mb of data and later gave the above error.
Full ISO - Downloaded the completed ISO for offline setup, was around 1.5 GB but gave the same error.
I am beating my head on this for the past 2 days now. I have tried reinstalling Visual Studio 2010 also.

Please help me on this. Thanks
I too had similar rollback issues with SP1.
Did you try verifiyng the ISO checksum as per:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2011/03/25/verify-the-iso-checksum-for-visual-studio-2010-service-pack-1-before-installing.aspx
Initially I had a bad checksum so redownloaded the ISO.
Did you try burning the ISO to a DVD, mounting the ISO as virtual drive, or extracting the ISO contents using somethign like 7zip?
I finally managed to get install working correctly when I extracted the ISO contents to a sub folder; I also scanned my hard drive for errors prior to running the setup
I also ran Disk cleanup prior - to free up disk space (with reference to disk space comment below)
I finally managed to get this working,
Below are the things I did before re-installing successfully.
Removed all Visual Stusio addins like Resharper, Akhn SVN and others
Disabled my Antivirus
Reboot
Run setup as Administrator.
