Visual Studio 2015 CTP6 Setup Stuck on Applying Optional Items [duplicate]

Question

I've been trying to Install Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6 from more than 2 hours. The progress bar around Acquiring has been 100%, but the progress around Applying Optional Items is stuck since 2+ hours. I'm currently trying to install it over Microsoft Windows 7 SP1.

1. Any Help regarding how long it's going to take?
2. How can I diagnose that something isn't broken - so that I can know why the setup is not completing after such a long time? Probably what the setup is currently doing?
3. Any Reasonable workaround??

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Answer 1

If you Open the task manager there is a is a sub installer running that is installing the optional items. Just kill that process and the installation will complete. I faced the same issue with visual studio ctp5.

If you repair the installation after that it will install all the missing components again.

Note: I faced this issue while using the ISO installer as well.
