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
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.
All the step by step procedure I written here
[Solved] The Feature That You Are Trying to Use is On a Network Resource That is Unavailable Java
We have an installer package authored with InstallShield 2009, targeting Windows Installer 3.1.
Recently, we started to notice that sometime, when installing on some Windows 2003 R2 x86 based hosts, the installation fails, and the installer log report a 1603 error code (which by the way, doesn't really help much, as it means ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE, that is a very generic "A fatal error occurred during installation.").
As the installation is still working on some other hosts on that very same platform, after further investigation we found out it was happening on hosts where Sql Server 2008 R2 was already installed, which leaded us to find out the issue is really with Windows Installer 4.5.
Whenever Windows Installer 4.5 was installed by an installer package, our installer package is failing with 1603. So far, we found as a work around: if we manually uninstall Windows Installer 4.5 (running something like "C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB942288-v4$\spuninst\spuninst.exe"), we can then run our installer package successfully, but this has various drawbacks:
the user who uninstall Windows Installer 4.5 is prompted with a dialog listing all the various software products installed using that, and effectively the link between those products and Windows Installer 4.5 is lost after uninstalling that, even if we reinstall it after successfully installing our application;
as Microsoft released various version of Windows Installer 4.5, the location of the utility to uninstall that is not strictly the one given above;
It is awkward to ask customers to perform such a work around.
I suppose upgrading the installer package to target Windows Installer 5 may solve the issue, but if possibile I would like to avoid it, and continuing to use InstallShield 2009 to author this specific package.
I have scoured the Microsoft and Flexera Knowledge Bases (and I am continuing my investigation), with no avail so far.
Does anyone knows if Microsoft or Flexera, or any other third party, have published an hotfix, or some further info, about this issue?
Some info about the 1603 error code failure
We got verbose logs for this issue, from at least 3 different servers, and we have investigated that in depth, to not avail so far. Most actions return 1, some 0 (specifically IsolateComponents, MigrateFeatureStates, IsolateComponents, SetODBCFolders, MigrateFeatureStates, UnpublishComponents, UnregisterComPlus, UnregisterTypeLibraries, UnregisterMIMEInfo, RemoveShortcuts, RemoveFiles, CreateShortcuts, RegisterMIMEInfo, InstallODBC, RegisterTypeLibraries, RegisterComPlus and PublishComponents, but nothing has yet came out investigating those), the installer package seems actually to be almost able to install (perform all the sequence down to "INSTALL. Return value 1.", it even prints "Product: [Our Product] -- Installation operation completed successfully."), only then it starts to rollback everything, and as there are various errors on the rollback, I think some of those will cause the 1603 (probably some 1607 returned by MsiProvideAssembly on ISChainPackagesCleanup), but the point is that it shouldn't rollback, and with Windows Installer 3.1 (or 5.x for that matter) it doesn't, it does rollback only when there is Windows Installer 4.5 installed on a Windows 2003 x86 environment.
Most likely your package has an action which fails, either custom or standard. Try creating a verbose log of the installation which fails (it's very important to be verbose). After the failure, open the log with a text editor and search for the error code (1603) to see what triggers it.
As a side note, don't try to blame Windows Installer. There's nothing wrong with version 4.5 and there are no hotfixes or something like that. The problem is in your package. It does something which is either incorrect or unsupported.
EDIT:
From your post update it looks like a failed chained installation. No errors are shown in the log because the error occurs in a different installer process.
If you are not using chained packages, try looking for errors in the Event Viewer.
If you are using chained packages, you can try enabling the Windows Installer logging policy and check for logs generated by them. Most likely one of the packages is encountering a problem.
My issue still persist. Reference to the thread Error while running MVC3 Application
Though I marked it as an answer as it did resolved my issue after reinstalling MVC3 but after 8 days this issue reappears but this time every single effort is failed:
I installed MVC 3 after uninstalling it:
I installed MVC 3 by Web Installer.

but the same error is displayed. Any suggestion ?
Please help.
Can you go to Help -> About Microsoft Visual Studio and check the version? It should say 10.0.40219.1 SP1 Rel if you have the service pack installed. Again, this is absolute guess work. If you don't have the SP installed (and the logs don't have anything useful) I'd start by removing the MVC3 tools update, applying 2010SP1, and then reinstalling the MVC3 tools update. If you do have the SP installed, I'm really at a loss and will refrain from making a suggestion on this route unless absolutely necessary. :-)
Has anyone run into the error where your upgrading a VS2008 project which targets .NET 3.5 to VS2010 and the error message states that you don't have .NEt 3.5 installed?
Snippet from the error message below
"is targeting ".NETFramework, Version=v3.5, Profile=Full", which is not installed on this machine"
I know that running multiple unreleased products together increases my changes for failure, but I would still like to try.
Well, at this time, this error appears to be a bug in VSTS2010.
