Go to Control Panel-Programs and Features and if you can find any versions of Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable, right-click and repair.

Make sure run the installer as administrator.

Refer to the log file, I found the error message 'The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 0 cannot be removed', you can have a try with the following to troubleshot this issue: So, would you please help me figure this out? See here:Īs I need this programme to help with college work, you can see how this would be a huge inconvenience for me, and since Microsoft support is so terrible, I decided to come here to ask for help. I did that, and it seemed to be working, but I got multiple other errors.

I contacted Microsoft support, which, I have to say, is appalling, and they recommended that I try to install it after performing a clean boot. It will keep installing that for as long as I let it, and when I try to stop the download, it will not close and I will have to restart my PC. The exact issue is that when I try to install Visual Studio, it progresses a little bit and then stops at 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 0' and then doesn't progress past that.

Originally I was using Windows 7 Professional when I was having the issues, but it persists with Windows 10.

I previously had Visual Studio 2012, but decided to uninstall it and install 2015 since I've started using 2015 at college. I've been having loads of problems installing Visual Studio 2015 Community recently.
