I've been having problems installing/uninstalling visual studio, the first time, I successfully installed it, but then I realised I had no use for it and needed the older version. I tried uninstalling it, but the loading bar wasn't moving after 10 mins, so I deleted the files from \Program Files (x86)\ instead.
So I went on and installed visual c++ 2010 express. But the next day,(after failing at everything) I found I did in fact need VS community 2013, so I downloaded the installer and it failed to install a couple things that didn't matter, but when I tried to find where VS installed, there were only the extra bundle programs, and not VS, so I figured I'd have to fully uninstall it.
I've tried uninsalling it, but it failed.
I've tried force uninstalling it, but all that did was try to reinstall it.
At the moment I'm do the sfc /scannow command
Info About my PC:
OS: Windows 10 Home
System Type: 64-bit OS, x64-based processor
Here's a log from when I tried to repair (or reinstall it, I can't remember) it:

I found out how to do it.
Intsall VS 2013
uninstall it
reboot
delete VS from program files
install VS 2013

I have the problem that I cannot update or install Visual Studio anymore on my system.
Today I saw that a newer Visual Studio 2017 version was released and I tried to start the VS installer for the update process. The start for the installer was just spinning but nothing happened. After that I tried to start the installer separately from VS but it didn't work either.
So I continued to make an even bigger mistake by assuming my installed version is bad and to completely reinstall Visual Studio by uninstalling and then trying to start the normal installation process.
Unfortunately it didn't work.
After downloading the webinstaller, it downloads the installer packages it needs but the vs_installer.exe itself will never run successfully afterwards (also if started manually).
There is no error shown directly. It just does not start. The EventViewer is also not showing any errors I would say have a connection to the problem.
Any ideas? Thanks!
After a bit of communication with the Visual Studio team they pointed me to the only thing they know could cause this issue.
Some time ago I added an environment variable to my system named NODE_OPTIONS. It was necessary because the builds of our Angular applications are so big that we had to adjust the available memory size.
Removing the environment variable enabled me to start vs_installer.exe and to reinstall Visual Studio again.
It's a bit obscure and not many people will have this problem. But I hope Microsoft will fix it anyway.
P.S. The silent crash is caused by the usage of Electron for the Visual Studio installer. The person from Microsoft, who helped me to workaround the problem, told me that they are working on a fix.
While upgrading Visual studio 2017 v15.4 the installation hanged up for hours and later I have forcibly restarted the machine. I know many of you might have gone through the same, appreciate your time for replying to this issue.
Thereafter tried opening the VS shell, it prompted me "The setup of this installation of Visual studio is not complete. Please run the Visaul studio Installer again to correct the issue." (shown as below)
As a last resort looked at the uninstall option but Vs installer is not prompting me with such option
Alternatively tried installing from VS_enterprise.exe and installation directory marked as incomplete as shown below
I ran a VSIX not knowing that it would try to intall win10SDK on my vs2017. So I canceled it. Now when I try to run vs2017 it tells me the installation is not finished. When I go to the installer and click modify, it attempts to install win10SDK, and just gets stuck there. I cant enter visual studio and found no solution online, is there a way to stop the installer from trying to find/install win10SDK.
Im running a windows 8.1
I cannot see AnkhSVN as an option under "Tools - Options - Source Control" in Visual Studio 2017. I have uninstalled and reinstalled AnkhSVN, but no effect.
Is there a way to fix this?
I came here looking for an answer to the same question. I am Running Windows 10 Enterprise and had VS2015 with AnkhSVN working before and after installing VS2017, but in VS2017 AnkhSVN was not available under SCC Plug-In Selection (even after uninstall and reinstall of the install executables downloaded from http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net, which offer registration against VS Dev15/2017).
This is what eventually worked:
Removed AnkhSVN (Windows: Add or Remove Programs)
Installed AnkhSVN Nuget package (Visual Studio: Tools/Extensions and Updates)
So the trick I believe is to "remove program installed by MSI/EXE followed by install extension via Visual Studio VSIX".
I was also subsequently able to upgrade AnkhSVN (2.7.12815 from VSIX install), by running the downloaded EXE installer for the latest daily build (2.7.12821), after which AnkhSVN is available in both VS2015 and 2017, although I had to reselect it in 2015.
I had the same issue with VS2017 and tried the solution provided by AlanK to no avail.
Here is the solution that solved the problem for me:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/119486/on-fresh-installation-extensions-are-not-working.html
Uninstall the source control plug-in.
Make a backup of the following files:
C:\USERS\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\15.0_XXXXXXXX\privateregistry.bin
C:\USERS\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\15.0_XXXXXXXX\privateregistry.user.bin
Remove these files:
C:\USERS\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\15.0_XXXXXXXX\privateregistry.bin
C:\USERS\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\MICROSOFT\VISUALSTUDIO\15.0_XXXXXXXX\privateregistry.user.bin
Start Visual Studio 2017.
Install the source control plug-in.
You have to install "Ankh.VS15Package.vsix" package along with AnkhSVN software in your system as the version of AnkhSVN that you are installing might be supporting only up to Visual Studio 2015 or less. I had the same issue and resolved it by installing the package mentioned.
I had a similar issue after one of the Visual Studio 2017 updates. I had Visual Studio running and I was attempting to follow #AlanK's steps. I uninstalled as in Step 1. When I did Step 2, VS said the plugin was installed already. I restarted Visual Studio, thinking it was confused about the fact I uninstalled via Add/Remove programs.
I checked again and the AnkhSVN plugin was shown as disabled. I enabled it and then AnkhSVN and VS 2017 started playing nicely again.
I read the answer from Snehlata Shaw, and I think what I uninstalled from Add/Remove programs is the 2015 and earlier version of AnkhSvn. I can't be 100% sure that uninstalling it did or did not help with the 2017 version.
In summary, make sure the plugin isn't just disabled. VS 2017 says (now that is enabled) that AnknSvn slows down startup by 6 seconds and perhaps I disabled it not realizing what I was doing (Monday morning??).
I have a Windows7 x64 machine (german). I had VS2008Prof, VS2010Prof and VS11 DP installed. I work mainly with VS2010. I was experimenting with the latest Qt version and tried to get html5 video running with QtWebKit. I installed some codecs and then also the Windows SDK 7.1.
Suddenly the VS2010 debugger began to behave strange: it showed local (stack) variables correctly, but heap variables (including the this pointer) showed wrong values when stepping through some method. And I am sure that this was not the fault of my code.
I then tried to revert my changes and ended up uninstalling the Win SDK 7.1, the VS11 DP and VS2010, the latter several times with the standard uninstall and with VS2010_Uninstall-RTM.ENU.exe. After each uninstall I tried to reinstall VS2010: It reported a successfull install (including C++) but in the Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include folder there are only the three files ammintrin.h, srv.h and wmiatlprov.h. The lib folder only contains the amd64 and ia64 folders and no C++ or msvc100* libraries.
Any ideas or suggestions?
(I also posted this on social.msdn.microsoft.com)
I resolved this issue by re-installing the complete system. Perhaps VS2010_Uninstall-RTM.ENU.exe /full /netfx may have helped, but I overlooked the /full switch.
