Error Occurs
Microsoft Web Platform Installer couldn't find the product you tried to install. Either the link you clicked is incorrect or you may be overriding you feed with a different feed
The link for Microsoft webmatrix does not work. When the web installer tries to download and error occurs:
Microsoft Web Platform Installer couldn't find the product you tried to install. Either the link you clicked is incorrect or you may be overriding you feed with a different feed.
I get this error when I try to install the Microsoft webmatrix [www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/] on my Window 7 OS.
Can anyone help!
Could you post your log file from %localappdata%\microsoft\web platform installer\logs\webpi - try to find the log file that matches up date/time with when you clicked the link and got the error message - thanks

Attempted to install PHP 5.2.17 on an IIS7 / 2008 standard 64bit on a VM running on Azure from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/web/platform/phponwindows.aspx
The download link gave me the executable PHP52.exe.
http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=PHP52
Clicking on the exe the Web Platform Installer opened and I received the message:
Microsoft Web Platform Installer couldn't find the product you tried to install
as displayed in your screenshot above.
So selected:
http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=PHP53
This downloads the exe PHP53.exe (i.e php 5.3.5).
When running this exe the message is no loner displayed and my installation can continue.
Hope that helps someone

I simply wish to install Visual Studio 2017 to compile a project.
Trying to install via the installer obtained from Microsoft fails after being unable to obtain the .opc file from aka.ms (found that after checking logs in %Temp%)
Moved to a full install version with all files and .opc file present. Installer still attempts to download from the web. Fails saying it is unable to download.
Tried running installed with --layout pointing toward the location of the offline files, same error.
Installed certificates from the certificates folder both in Personal and Trusted Root stores, no difference.
Tried starting CNG Key Isolation service, fails with error 1053
Microsoft support transferred me three times before saying the problem is on their end, so how, if one were to have no internet connection and evidently has all files required for install available, install this, if the installer stubbornly attempts to download from the web?
Is there a KB I am missing or some procedure I have to follow with the full installers?
In my case it is the network firewall blocking the downloading because the downloading involve not only main Microsoft visual studio site which is allowed in our network but also some url like https://aka.ms which is blocked by our firewall.the error is listed in c:\users\myusername\appdata\local\temp\dd_bootstrapper_xxx.log
It appears from what you have submitted you are attempting to download a offline copy of Visual Studio. It also appears that you are attempting to run the file originally downloaded to create the bootstrapper for the installation.
You want to instead launch the setup executable which is actually in the layout folder.
Hope this helps. ^^
Appears the cause for this was the service disclosure debug, disabling the debug, binding all services back into the svchost and after rebooting the service is working again. I have been able to install VS now.
I've just finished talking to the "Microsoft Support Chat" and he told me to post this here (i can't post it on the developercommunity forums because i need to click a button in the installer which isn't there at that stage).
When I'm trying to run the VS Enterprise 2017 installer (or any other edition) the installer cancels with the error message: "Unable to download installation files. Check your internet connection and try again."
What I tried so far:
Running as Administrator
Downloading the installer with a different browser
Using the --layout option to download files first (same error message, no files downloaded)
Installing the certificates
Using the --update option before running the installer regularly
Running the Windows 10 Windows Update Troubleshooter (couldn't identify the problem)
Disabling Bitdefender Antivirus
Multiple Reboots/Re-Downloads
One more thing that might be helpful is that quite a while back when i was installing "Cyber Ghost VPN" on the same machine i had trouble connecting using that application because a windows service that should've been active wasn't running.
Also I would've included the Logs from running the vscollect tool but i can't seem to figure out how to attach a file here. Do i have to upload it somewhere else and include the link or is there a way i can just attach the file here?
It could be a certificate issue, maybe your time and region are not set correctly, so the certificate is in a different date than the server. I followed this three spets a couple weeks ago and it worked.
Install the certificates, usually in "certificates" folder,(inside Layout folder).
Right-click each one to install it with administrator rigths.
3.Run the installation file.
I've seen other threads about this, but they're all regarding offline installs and certificates. I'm just trying to do the Online Installer (from here: https://www.visualstudio.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Professional&rel=15)
And I keep getting this error.
Microsoft chat confirmed that this is an issue on their end.
I recently installed Visual Studio 2015 Community for universal app development, but when ever I create a new project and select the universal app under windows the error pops up saying:
"One or more projects requires a framework SDK(.NETCore v=5.00) that
is either not installed or is included as part of a future update to
visual studio"
In that error box there is a hyperlink mentioned to download the update but it goes right to the Microsoft website's home page.
I read some where to install the .NETCore via nuget package manager console. I have done that it was successful, but again whenever I create a new project it says to install the Framework SDk(.NETCore v5).
I haven't found any solution on this particular error but their were some tutorials to install the .NETCore but they didn't helped me out.
Kindly tell me how to get rid of this, I have wasted almost my 5 days trying to fix this issue.
i actually fixed that issue by First Modifying the setup of vs and their unchecking the Window Universal App development option. it means uninstalling the universal Window App development from visual studio then again modifying the setup i re checked the universal window App development option and update it. that fixed my issue.
You have to install the "Tools and Windows SDK."
Ultimately, I'm trying to install the windows phone app SDK so that I can put an app I've made on my phone.
To do this, I am told I need to install SP1.
When I attempt this I get the following:
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable visual studio riaservices.msi"
I download the riaservices.msi and point the dialog to it, and I get the message:
"The file is not a valid installation package for the product WCF RIA Services V1.0 for VS 2010."
I've downloaded the ISO as mentioned in a related post on this website, but I've no idea what I'm doing with that now it's mounted.
Some of the features I've tried to install have asked me to insert the CD which I don't have, I downloaded it for free from a university scheme.
Can anyone help me fix this? It's infuriating beyond belief.
Someone answered the question over on SuperUser, this got a fair few views so here's a link to there:

This is kind of error found while uninstalling programs, I saw this error when I try to uninstall Java. But it is common i-tones, Blackberry software and certain other applications also.
As a Technical Support I met this problem and found a solution for a client PC running with Windows XP.
