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
In Windows 10 I go it through restarting Windows in Safe Mode! It's only way when my installation was fast as possible and avoid any hangs/stucks.
But don't forget to start Windows Installer Service before VS setup.
I disabled my AVG Internet Security 2015 for until next restart. Solved the issue. Best luck
I just disabled the internet connection for the period of the installation (installing from an offline ISO file, of course) and the process went through fine. FYI.
In my case the vs_community.exe was stuck waiting on enableaspnet.exe. I killed it and the install process continued.
