Question

When I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Professional RC, I get the following error:

Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android : The installer failed

Answer 1

It was the same issue for me. Enabling Hyper-V support in Windows components solved the problem. (Win+R -> "OptionalFeatures.exe") However, in my case, I also had to enable virtualization support in bios.
