I'm following a nice tutorial on hosting Django on Apache, for that I need to install mod_wsgi using pip. This needs c++ 14.0 or higher .. I've been trying to install visual studio community edition and it's tools using the microsoft installer. However, a bugging error keeps chacing me:
"Unable to download installation files. Check your internet connection and try again"
Now my internet connection is fine, I also did many attempts to restart, and re-download - cmd commands for offline installation and many many attempts.
I need help here as It is driving me crazy!:D can anybody please help?
all the best
Visual Studio - Error: Unable to download installation files
You can try these steps:
First, make sure that you use administrator account to log on to the PC and your Internet can access any websites.
1) delete the Installer folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\
2) Right-click on the vs_xxxxx_xxxx.exe(installer program)-->Properties-->Digital Signatures-->you can see "signature list"-->Select signature and then Click on Details button-->Click on View certificate button--> Click on Install certificate and follows installation wizard.
3) Fire up Run, type gpedit.msc
Brows to the following location: Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->System-->Internet Communication Management-->Internet Communication settings then find the entry Turn off Automatic Root Certificates Update and open her up and set it to Disabled.
4) Get Windows to check for updates and if so, update it.
5) Then run the installer as administrator to install it.
In addition, if you create an offline installation, please use like this:(remember to add --lang en-us)
vs_community.exe --layout C:\vs2019offline --lang en-us
Besides, when you finish it, please install the three certificates as administrator which are in the certificates folder of the offline package and after that, install the installer.
Also, make sure that these certificates are in the trusted folder.
I'm setting a build in Azure DevOps Pipelines, I have in repos some solutions including a SQL Server Analysis Project. This project triggers a error in the build for the NuGetCommand:
[error]The nuget command failed with exit code(1) ...: error MSB4067: The element <ProductVersion> beneath element <Project> is unrecognized.)
[error]Packages failed to restore
[section]Finishing: NuGetCommand
Any ideas how to solve this error? Maybe run the NuGetCommand for all projects except this SSAS, how can I exclude this solution/project?
I tried to Manage NuGet Packages for this SQL Server Analysis Project, but is not supported.
I have this code in the azure pipeline, I need to run this command for every solutions except SQL Server Analysis Project.
- task: NuGetCommand#2
inputs:
restoreSolution: '$(solution)'
The nuget command failed with exit code(1) The element beneath element is unrecognized
This issue is more related to the MSBuild instead of nuget.
Since NuGet is now fully integrated into MSBuild, when we invoke nuget to restore packages, it will call MSBuild auto-detection. There is a issue in MSBuild 15 about it.
Besides,
the latest version of Microsoft Reporting Services Projects for Visual
Studio (1.18) adds MSBuild support for SSRS projects. With this
installed, SSRS projects can be updated to a format supported by
MSBuild, which prevents this problem from happening.
So, to resolve this issue, please update your Visual Studio on the agent server to the latest version to check if you still have this issue.
Hope this helps.
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 just created a .NET Core Web Application in VS2017 and I wanted to be able to serve a single page application. In order to be able to do that I tried to install the nuget package Microsoft.AspNetCore.StaticFiles. But my NuGet installer failed and threw the following error
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Package restore failed. Rolling back package changes for 'MyApp'.
Right click on the project=>Properties and set TargetFramework to .net core 2.0(less than or equal to the packages version you are using)
build the project and then install whatever you want from nuget.
I have setup my own Team Foundation Build server and I am using Visual Studio Online to host my project online. I have a django project which I am trying to deploy on windows azure cloud service. The project can be published from my dev machine without any errors however when the build server tries to build it, it gives the following error during uploading the package:
Exception Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. (type FileNotFoundException)
I checked in .pyproj and found a reference to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage but there the version is 2.1.0.0 and that is the version that is installed on the server as well.
Also there are no errors during the build process but only during the deployment stage. How do I make Msbuild use Storage version 2.1.0.0 instead of 2.0.0.0 . Also, which SDK version contains Storage version 2.0.0.0
I just had this problem. This is the same problem as TFS Build Controller : "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient, Version=1.7.0.0".
You'll need to copy Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.dll version 2.0.0.0 to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 12.0\Tools", and then restart the Visual Studio Team Foundation Build Service Host 2013 service.
