Microsoft visual studio 2013 ultimate doesn't open

The vs 2013 is not getting open. It pops up with a message "Cannot run when setup is in progress". I didn't make any configuration change. Can somebody help me?

Check for vs_community.exe running in your Windows Task Manager. For me, that was the problem. Downloading it manually and installing fixed the problem for me...

The same issue happened on Windows 10 Preview and resolved by stopping the vs update 4 installation process as suggested here. Just noting here for Win10 Preview.

Just to add to the above, I did some looking at Task Manager etc. on my Windows 7 machine and saw there was the Trusted Installer running, but no Visual-Studio-2013-specific process. After browsing the web for fifteen minutes I was able to start up VS2013 without any issue.

I would strongly recommend waiting for at least this length of time before you begin killing processes that may be configuring the software.

To follow on from @FLGMwt's post, I was having the same issue. It seems it's quite common according to this article: Microsoft Ships New Botched Update: KB3002339 Failing to Install

I fixed this by first ending the task "Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (KB30002339) (32 bit)", then downloading the KB3002339 update from Microsoft and running it manually: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3002339/

Finally, I checked for Windows Updates and this one was no longer showing. Visual Studio now starts without issue.

You could skip manually installing the update by ignoring it in Windows Update.

This just happened to me as well. I had three instances of Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate open and when I tried to launch another as Admin, I got the same error, and still got the error after closing all instances and trying again.

I checked task manager and saw a process called "Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (KB30002339) (32 bit)". I previously had Visual Studio 2012 on the machine but I didn't think this would affect 2013 starting. However, after I killed that and tried starting VS 2013 as admin, it was working fine.

try rebooting your pc, after the reboot it'll still continue some setup. Wait for it to complete. Then launch it again!
