Unable to install Visual Studio 2017 community edition - visual-studio-2017

Upon installation I get a message box stating: "Setup Operation Failed". When I view the log it contains:
[2034:000c][2017-03-07T15:50:03] Error 0x80004003:

Please help.

There is not enough information to go on. Please run http://aka.ms/vscollect.exe then attach %TEMP%\vslogs.zip to a new issue you should file using the Feedback tool. In the Visual Studio Installer, click the feedback button in the upper-right corner.

Why doesn't the c++ file run in visual studio

So I tried making a basic game on the console using screen buffers, I was able to create it and make a square move in the canvas, but for my next project I looked up a website with the ASCII characters and pasted a couple into a comment at the end of the c++ file, when I ran the file visual studio prompted:
I clicked yes and it didn't run anymore.
Also I recently have installed an extension for visual studio (before it didn't run, the extension works fine but I don't know if the extension may have caused this as I didn't tried running it with the extension downloaded and applied), when I open visual studio and open a file it says:
The last record in the ActivityLog xml file, has a type of error and it's description is:

I have Visual Studio 2017
So why does running the file (with the local windows debugger button) say that there were build errors? And how can I fix it?
When it prompts the build error, and I click no it usually shows the errors but in this case it doesn't, yes will just run the last "successful" build (although I haven't changed the file since I have finished it before this error message started popping up)
Also there is no error in my code as I was able to run it before the build error kept appearing and I haven't touched the file since(only now to show the problems are)
Thanks for your time! if anything was unclear because of my English, comment and I'll try to clarify it
I fixed the error by deleting ComponentModelChache folder located at:
C:\Users\%userName%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0
15.0 is the version of your visual studio so it varies depending on the version you're using, %userName% is a replacement for the user you're logged in as

Specflow plugin failure for Visual Studio 2017

I have both VS 2015 Update 3 and VS 2017 15.7 installed on my machine. After installing new VS2017 I downloaded the specflow for visual studio 2017 to install in VS 2017 Enterprise (15.7)
I am able to build the code after I do getlatest but not when I edit. When I try to Add New Item a new feature file I am not able to do this using VS 2017 I can't see the SpecFlow feature template, or, indeed, any SpecFlow template. I get following error when I am trying to build after I edit/Add a line in the feature file -
Below is the error in .cs file for respective feature file :-

Others in my team are able to build the latest code as well as they are able to edit feature file and build it successfully. How do I fix this issue on my local? I don't see any other updated version of SpecFlow where this issue got fixed. Please advise.

Failing that you should:
Uninstall VS2017.
Use a tool called MSIZap/msicuu2 to remove any left overs.
Reinstall.
Failing that you have little choice but to rebuild your PC.

Visual Studio 2015: C++ code analysis error C1253, unable to load model file 'res://mspft140.dll/300'

Visual Studio 2015 Community update 3, trying the C++ code analysis feature. The settings are as follows:
solution properties > code analysis settings > [all configurations] [all platforms] : microsoft native recommended settings
project properties > code analysis > [all configurations] [all platforms] : microsoft native recommended settings
Whenever I run analyze > run code analysis on solution I would always get a c1xx : fatal error C1253: Unable to load model file 'res://mspft140.dll/300'. This happens to every project, new or existing. MSDN is not particularly helpful about this one.
The string is a res protocol, so I checked if the dll mentioned is at its correct location (there are two actually, at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\ and c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64), and opened them with resedit. Both contain an XML resource named 300, so I don't see any reason for VS being unable to load it. Resetting the settings didn't help, full uninstall and reinstall (half a day wasted) did neither.
I also ran procmon with [Path] [contains] [mspft] filter while running the code analysis in VS, but the file system results are only SUCCESS and FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS, which seems to be ok.
Did anyone experience this error? Does anyone have any surmises about its cause?
Update: After looking thoroughly through many more procmon captures with different filters I found out that cl.exe tries to open this registry key value: HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Handler\res\CLSID. Clearly it looks for the handler of the res protocol mentioned in the error output - and it's not there to be found, while many siblings of res key refer to some valid handlers, for example, http key has CLSID value of {79eac9e2-baf9-11ce-8c82-00aa004ba90b}. I guess that my quest for now is figuring out what that res CLSID is meant to be.
I was right in my assumption about the res protocol handler. The correct HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Handler\res\CLSID value is {3050f3bc-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b} (which refers to C:\Windows\System32\mshtml.dll). For some reason my registry was missing it; as soon as I added the value, the code analysis started working without errors.
I hope this helps someone, although I believe the bug is extremely rare.

Connection from Toad 11 to TFS 2010

currently I try to connect to our TFS2010 server with Toad Team Coding.
I've tried to follow this documentation, but it's for Toad 10.6 and some of the windows look different. Still I was able to connect to our collection and see all our Team Projects we have.
The problems start, when I try to export something to TFS.
Team Coding Code Collections -> Create new revision...
There I select e.g. all Packages and click "OK", then I get the Export Options -> OK
Then I just get a bunch of errors:
"Unable to add revision from VCS repository. Error uploading file: C:\temp...."
The progess window in the background says: "Package xyz has been added to the VCS."
Now I have a bunch of PKS/PKB files in my folder and Visual Studio shows me, that I have new files with Pending Change "add".
Team Coding Viewer shows me all the files with status "Available", checkin is grayed out, checkout gives the same error as above and the info window at the bottom shows:
15:29:46 Error: Cannot create file
"C:\Users\abc~1\AppData\Local\Temp\$111.11.1.11:1521\xxx.50510.PKB".
Die Syntax für den Dateinamen, Verzeichnisnamen oder die
Datenträgerbezeichnung ist falsch
(Translation for the last part: Syntax of filename, foldername or diskname is wrong).
At this point it doesn't make sense to go on. Toad will show the files now as checked out, but in TFS they are still with the "add" change. Toad acts like the checkin/checkout was successful (window at the bottom) and shows the error for every file.
Any idea? Any new tutorial to set up Toad 11 with TFS 2010?
