I had installed Visual studio 2015 in April and from past one week I was trying to install the update 3. In first attempt, the installation failed with errors. After which the Visual Studio itself stopped working at all!!. On that, I had uninstalled the update 3, still VS was not working and then SQL server 2014 also stopped working. In between did workarounds:
- clear package cache and temp files etc.
- Tried re-installing VS2015, sql server 2014 and other missing files based on the errors.
Finally, I had to completely uninstall literally everything that was even remotely linked to Visual Studio viz:
- net framework 4.5 and 4.6
- Sql sever 2014
- VS 2015
- VS 2015 update 3
So now I freshly installed framework 4.5, 4.6.2 and sql server 2015. I already had a setup file of VS2015 professional with license, so i installed it. However, it was installing with update 3. So got the below error:
Visual Studio update 3 installation error:
Besides VS is opening :-). But i also need update 3 because I need a MS chatbot template to work with. Thanks in advance !!!
You should remove the
Visual Studio 2015completely, download the Visual Studio 2015 ISO which already has the Update 3 included from the Microsoft page,mount the ISO and install the VS2015.
