Please submit feedback. You C/C++ developers have never been shy about voicing your concerns; channel that energy into providing us critical feedback about where we can improve your experience and better support your development scenarios! We read everything you share with us. UPDATE 4/30/2015: Install issues. Thanks for your installation problem feedback. There are a couple of things you can try. 1. As Massimo Aristide points out in the comments, if installation fails follow the “after installation” guidance in the Visual Studio 2015 RC Release Notes:
After a successful installation of Visual Studio, you may receive the following message when you try to start up Visual Studio
Install operation did not finish successfully. Please reinstall or repair Visual Studio
To work around this issue, find the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoftVisualStudio14.0SetupVS[enterprise | professional | community]
If the value for InstallResult is 3010, change it to 0. Otherwise, perform a repair of the product as requested. 2. Another potential solution is outlined in this Microsoft forums post. It recommends the following:
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 the Visual Studio setup.
