Having troubles installing Visual Studio 2015

Question

I'm having problems installing VS Community 2015. The installation gets stuck at Applying LocalESPCui for en-us Dev12. I've read a few topics about this but still cannot figure out a solution.

Does anyone know where Visual Studio installer download the installation files? And if possible, is there a way to resolve this problem?

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Hope this can help:-

1. Use Task Manager to terminate vs_xxx.exe.
2. Download the ISO from microsoft.com, and mount it (say, Drive E)
3. Copy E:\packages\EspC (directory and files) to a temp location (say D:\Temp)
4. [Step 3 is important, so don't skip it].
5. In Windows Explorer, right click on "D:\Temp\EspC\LocalESPCui for en-us Dev12-x86_en-us.msi" and select Install.
6. Run vs_xxx.exe again.
