Did the latest Windows 10 upgrade on 8/27/2019. That broke Outlook 2016, but an Office Repair tool fixed that.
Now my VS Community 2017 can't run a Web project because IIS Express won't start. Says some other app is using the port, but SysInternals and netstat -ano say otherwise. In the Windows application log, an error for Clr4IntegratedAppPool always fires before the IIS error.
I have tried all of the following:
Repair VS 2017 (took hours to download gigs of stuff; what was this, an entire reinstall?)
Uninstall/reinstall IIS Express and reboot, reboot, reboot.
Delete the folder My Documents/IIS Express.
Delete the hidden project file .vs/config/applicationhost.config.
Changed the port number in the VS project properties, on the Web tab.
Ran this command: netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=::
I created a new web project and it ran fine with IIS Express. But after that, the old project still could not keep IIS Express running.
Suggestions?
When I compared the csproj files for the new project that worked and the old one that had stopped working, I found that the new one had a lot of IIS-related stuff that was absent from the old one. I copied it from the old to the new, and it worked. However, it only worked with the new port number. Haven't gotten the old one to work, but I'll gladly settle for that!

Today I suddenly started getting errors when I try to run/debug my Azure cloud project from Visual Studio. I'm running Visual Studio version 15.7.3 and Azure SDK version 2.9.6. The error message says:
Failed to debug the Microsoft Azure Cloud Service project. The output
directory '\csx\Debug' does not exist.
Yesterday it worked fine, but during the night Windows Update installed some updates and rebooted my machine.
I have tried the following things without success:
Created the folder myself
Set full permissions for everyone on the csx folder
Set full permissions for everyone on the parent folder to the csx folder
Uninstalled one of the updates which was installed during the night
The strange thing is that if msbuild creates the csx folder without problems, using this command:
C:\src\services2>msbuild <cloudproject>.ccproj /p:configuration=debug /maxcpucount /p:outdir="c:\OutDir" /p:overwritereadonlyfiles=true /p:targetprofile="Cloud" /target:Clean;Publish
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
After struggling with this problem for a long time, I concluded that it was a problem with Visual Studio, since msbuild worked without problems.
After running a "Repair" on Visual Studio, it now works again :-)
You run the repair by selecting Visual Studio from Settings/Apps & features and clicking "Modify":
In the Visual Studio installer, you then select "Repair":
I am having an issue with the SSDT installation for VS2017.
I have ran the installer three times, once basic, once following VS update and the last following some minor windows updates.
All 3 times the logs stumble at the same point, anyone know what this .exe it is trying to run is (I am running the installer with Admin...). I read somewhere for a similar error that it might be the SDK but I am able to run this locally, any nice workarounds to having this installed out there?

The answer from Nick is very helpful, but I still failed at SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /repair with the same error Error 0x800703e9: Failed to execute EXE package..
Then I tried it with a very straightforward way: (Disable UserAccountControl first)
copy SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe to c:\temp and execute SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /layout to download a local copy of the bundle.
open C:\temp\redist and double click NDP461-KB3102438-Web.exe
open C:\temp\payload and double click vsta_setup.exe
repeat to install others...
This is the most likely link I came to when I got the same message in my log:
Applying execute package: Microsoft.DataTools.AnalysisServices, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\9864EE5369359DB622D0234B6C6B7640B949140C\VSIXBootstrapper.exe, arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\9864EE5369359DB622D0234B6C6B7640B949140C\VSIXBootstrapper.exe" /q /admin /instanceIds:"fc3f0e2c" /logFile:"C:\Users\a_nzchuk\AppData\Local\Temp\SsdtSetup\SSDT-Setup-ENU_20171205113839_002_Microsoft.DataTools.AnalysisServices.log" "payload\Microsoft.DataTools.AnalysisServices.vsix"'

So I'll document my findings here.
In my start menu I had Visual Studio 2017 (SSDT). It ran OK but didn't have any BI projects available
This is what I did from an Administrator elevated command prompt:
Copied SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe into C:\temp (rather than a user specific download folder which the admin user may not have access to)
Ran SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /layout to pre-download support and redist files (this was after a required restart)
Ran SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /repair to try and repair the install. It gave me a button Repair that I clicked.
Ran SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /repair again. Selected Modify. Noted that only SQL Server Database was ticked, but none of the others (SSAS, SSIS, SSRS)
Ticked SQL Server Analysis Services and pressed Modify. It proceeded to do it. Got stuck at 50% for a few minutes but eventually worked
Repeated for SQL Server Reporting Services and SQL Server Integration Services
After this, when I reran VS2017, it had the BI projects and allowed me to create a 1400 SSAS solution
Previous failed installations left VS2017 recognising that the installation was present in Visual Studio Installer. I removed the installation, restarted and the re-install was successful...
For SSDT for VS2018, Version 15.5.2
same failed at execute exe. only do
1. SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /layout
2. SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /repair (tick SSAS/SSRS/SSIS based on your requirement)
and this already works. I think MS also do some job for this.
EDIT: This might not be relevant any more since SSDT 15.8.2 is now out.
In my case, I was on VS 2017 15.7.2 and I can't complete the installation in SSDT 15.6. What I did was to install SSDT 2017 15.7.0 and it worked.
Make sure to uninstall previous SSDT installations via the VS installer or Control Panel also the Microsoft Reporting Services Projects and Microsoft Aanalysis Services Projects extensions first if you have them before launching the installer.
Edit: I think my Python issue is a subset of Jeff Leach's comment about repairing Visual Studio. So, I would probably look at any Visual Studio errors you had while installing and try and fix them before trying to install SSDT. For the time being I would NOT update Visual Studio or its installer to the newest versions (15.7 and 1.16) because of known bugs with SSDT 2017. They are working on a fix that will be out with 15.7.2 but it's not out yet.

I found that Daniel's method worked, but I had to install Python manually to be successful.
After successfully installing the .msis in the payload directory I tried to install the Analysis Services VSIX and I wasn't successful because the installer couldn't install Python 3.6.3. I found the page at the bottom and did the following to successfully install the Analysis, Integration, and Reporting VSIXs.
Check error logs and find what version of Python is the problem.
Manually download and install the proper Python version (my logs said 3.6.3). The name of the executable was python-3.6.3-amd64.exe and I got it from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.3/python-3.6.3-amd64.exe
Uninstall SSDT extensions from within Visual Studio. I uninstalled all of my previously unsuccessful VSIXs.
Manually install VSIXs. This worked out for me and I am able to use all of the SSDT functionality!
Just to do control testing, I installed Reporting Services with the /repair option and was successful. I think the main issue was the Python error. I think if I would've had Python installed everything would've gone smoothly. This is very frustrating because I got this same Python "error" when first installing Visual Studio 2017 (15.6.7)...expect the "error" was just a caution and didn't prevent me from using Visual Studio. But somehow it prevented the install of SSDT 2017.
I hope none of y'all have to go through this like I did today at work!

I had the same error 0x800703e9 installing SSDT with the SSRS option checked. After trying some of the previous good suggestions unsuccessfully, including using the /layout option to download the package locally, I found that the Visual Studio installer portion of the package needed a reboot to finish. After the reboot, I was able to run Microsoft.DataTools.ReportingServices.VSIX successfully.
I have a similar problem with different error code, but the same
"Failed to execute EXE package problem".
I tried all the solution above to no avail. But, after creating an installation layout out of SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe and then trying to execute vsta_setup.exe as suggested by Daniel. I get to the underlying error message, it's has something to do with Android NDK believe it or not, and since I'm from Syria, any change to these packages should be done through a VPN connection. So the solution was to run Visual Studio 2017 installation layout, remove all these ugly android packages "Android SDKs and NDKs and even the emulators, yes, a nuclear solution since I don't have a VPN connection", and then run SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /repair. Everything worked just fine.
I hope this might save someone's time after it wasted mine.
My installation came also with a error. I tried the several things mentioned above, but it didn't help. So I was guessing that it could be the disk space of my VirtualBox VM. I made the C: drive bigger and that was the trick.
SSDT requiere:
Hard disk space: up to 130 GB of available space, depending on features installed; typical installations require 20-50 GB of free space.
I have set up a CI server for our .NET projects. To build those projects I want to use the Visual Studio executable devenv.exe.
This worked out perfectly during the "evaluation period". Now these 30 days are over, to keep using Visual Studio on my Desktop computer, I just updated my license with one mouseclick. Doing this on the server allows me to build using the GUI, but when running devenv.exe programatically with the required parameters, I am receiving an error that the evaluation license expired, even though I renewed it.
I have already tried a clean reinstall, which did not fix the issue for me. Visual Studio on the server is connected to the same account I am successfully using on my Desktop PC.
Is there a known fix for this issue?
Figured it out. The license is somehow related to the user that launches Visual Studio. So to to automatically build projects with devenv.exe, the building agent has to run under the same user account, that installed an launched Visual Studio.
I'm trying to set up remote debugging on Visual studio 2013.
I think I installed everything on my computer and the hyper-v machine too + updated.
So whats happening:
I open a microsoft UMDF driver sample. (I can build it without any errors).
I select Debugging tools for windows remote debugger.
Then a message box pops up named Deployment not configured.
I select I know what I'm doing continue debugging.
Then the Computer configuration wizard starts add new computer.
I select provision computer and automatically configure debuggers.
Then the configuration process configure my hyper-v machine fine.
Installs the necessary files restart the computer and log in with the name WDKRemoteUser.
Then I Click Finish then this error pop-up.
The required property 'DbgengRemoteCommand' is missing or empty. (OK)
So I need to fill up the package property pages->configuration properties->debugging->
Remote Command, Remote Command Arguments, Remote Working Directory, Remote Computer name manually?
And if I had to what should I write there or I miss something else?
You only need to specify the "Remote Working Directory" parameter and you can just give it the same path as your build directory and you should be good.
