Having troubles installing Visual Studio 2015

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!

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.

Running the install as Admin from the ISO it was looking in the "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\" folder and failing to find what it needed.

The installer asked me to locate the missing file. I pointed it to "E:\packages\EspC" (where E: is my mounted ISO drive letter) and found the "LocalESPCui for en-us Dev12-x86_en-us.msi".

Now the rest of the install can proceed.

Note that if the installer doesn't stop and ask you for the file you may be able to force it by removing "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\" (temporarily).

The following topic will probably help you out with your problem:

Just make sure that the espC path exists before and during the installation. Check the logs when the you reach the point where it's stuck and verify the path.

good luck
