Error Installing Windows 10 development tools for Visual Studio 2015 RC on Windows 8.1

I am running Windows 8.1 and I have installed Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise RC with Blend.

I am trying to install the Windows 10 development tools for Visual Studio 2015 RC and getting the following error:

ExecuteError: Package (VSSecondaryInstaller_box) failed: Error Message Id: 1603 ErrorMessage: Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10069 : The installer failed. User cancelled installation. Error code: -2147023294

Has anyone else gotten this error and found a solution to successfully install?

Here's my 2 cents.
I tried all the methods in all the forums and the tools failed to install for me on Windows 10. Then as a last resort, I enabled 'Developer Mode' in Settings and tried installing the tools again and voila! They did.

Installed Windows 10 installed from scratch. Installed VS2015 from ISO.

VS2015 failed to install the Windows 10 emulators.

No loss of connectivity.

We've fixed this issue, and have released an update as of 7PM PDT 30 April 2015.

New installs of Visual Studio 2015 RC should expect to no longer encounter this problem, unless you lose your internet connection during installation. (That is, this error now indicates that the Windows SDK or Windows Emulator setup invoked by Visual Studio setup has lost internet connectivity and cannot download necessary files.)

  • To fix the issue, re-run setup and select the features "Universal Windows App Development Tools" and/or "Emulators for Windows Mobile" again.

If you have already installed Visual Studio and encountered this problem, you can now modify your Visual Studio installation to successfully install. Go to Program & Features, select Visual Studio 2015 RC, and select Change.

  • Click Modify, then select the features "Universal Windows App Development Tools" and/or "Emulators for Windows Mobile", and click Update.
  • Note that "Universal Windows App Development Tools" will be already selected. This is expected. Keep it selected, and click Update.

An alternate solution is to install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows Emulators separately. Go to https://dev.windows.com/downloads/windows-10-developer-tools. Scroll to the bottom of the page and install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows 10 emulators outside of Visual Studio setup.

Through a quick google of the error code you provided, I found an article with the following post:

To get unblocked, go to https://dev.windows.com/downloads/windows-10-developer-tools. Scroll to the bottom of the page and install the Windows 10 SDK and Windows 10 emulators outside of Visual Studio setup.

I cannot speak for the solutions' effectiveness personally, but it was a marked answer. I hope this helps!
