I am trying to install VS 2015 in Windows 10 and the installation is stuck at the \"Applying Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 x86 Debug Runtime - 14.0.23026\" section for around

Answer 1

Get the iso for vs community edition and turn the internet off. Issue resolved by doing this way

Answer 2

Just disable cpu SpeedStep feature in BIOS.

this was my solution instead of disabling AV, disconnecting from internet and all other suggestion that I tested. after disabling SpeedStep I saw lot more speed in setup progress too.

Answer 3

I am facing the same issue. My Visual Studio 2015 Professional installation is stuck for hours. I used Analyze Wait Chain command in task manager as suggested above. There it showed me VSCommunity.exe is waiting for WUSP.exe process. so i manually stopped WUSP.exe process. My visual studio installation resumed now. It is running fine. Thanks for the help everyone.

Answer 4

Visual Studio 2015 installer hangs during install? - just kill some of the background processes. I kill some of the windows installers(during the installation) and everything continues normally.

Answer 5

My installation was stuck for 2 days.
I fixed it this way:

• open the Task Manager (taskmgr.exe) and use the Details tab. I had two vs_community.exe instances running.
• I've used the command "Analyze wait chain" to inspect them. One of the instances was locked in waiting for an EnableGraphicsTools.exe process. I killed the process EnableGraphicsTools.exe and my installation resumed and was successful.

Answer 6

I have been researching this issue and I am really surprised, that most of the folks trying to install Visual Studio 2015 or one of its update are not aware that all they have to do is run the setup as an admin with the /NoWeb argument and the setup will succeed in reasonable time.

The real culprit is not the setup itself, but that it tries to download and apply optional items not included in the .iso file. Ofcourse if you use the websetup to install the product, you do get a feedback on the main core items that are initially installed, and all those items are available in the iso, which can be easily downloaded. But the other optional items can only be applied by the setup by downloading and then be installed.

So I simple use the /Layout argument to the Visual Studio setup to cache all the items offline, then I use either /NoWeb or disconnect from internet or both to ensure that I can install all my components ok.

Please note that I have personally tried this, i.e. using the /NoWeb and/or disconnecting from internet and/or using the /Layout to download the whole deal and then running the setup offline.
