Hi, I have tried multiple times to install VS 2015 Community Edition from the link: https://www.visualstudio.com/post-download-vs/?sku=community&clcid=0x409&telem=ga
But I always get an error that "team explorer for microsoft visual studio 2015 update 3 ctp1 fatal error during installation".
Does anyone have a link to another VS installer?

Hi,
The link contains the ISO and the on-line instaler https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48146
- vs_community.exe (2.9 MB)
- vs2015.com_enu.iso (3.7 GB)
Visual Studio 2015 Community SP3 on-line : https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691129
Visual Studio 2015 Community SP3 ISO: https://download.microsoft.com/download/b/e/d/bedddfc4-55f4-4748-90a8-ffe38a40e89f/vs2015.3.com_enu.iso

Thanks for the reply. I tried the executable "vs_community.exe", but that resulted in the same error. I am downloading the ISO - but that will take a while... well, same error from the ISO. I'll try to find another version of VS which might work - "professional" or something.
Can I prevent "Team Explorer" from installing? I don't need or want it, and as it seems that it this component which is causing VS to fail, I can easily do without it.

Hi xdzgor,
Thanks for your post.
Recently, I faced some cases that some members encountered similar issue as yours: the VS installation failed stuck at Team Explorer CTP1.
The reason could be that the Universal CRT Headers Libraries and Sources packages failed to load。
Please try steps below:
1. Uninstall Visual Studio 2015 and 2015 C++ runtimes and Entity Framework 2015 libraries from Programs and Features
2. Reboot machine if prompted
3. Rename or delete folders-
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0
- C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0
- C:\users\user\Documents\Visual Studio 2015
- C:\users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
- C:\users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
- C:\users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon\14.0
4. Go to the registry editor (start >> run >> regedit) and remove/rename the following registries-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config
5. close all your Visual Studio instances
6. download from ISO download website
7. Extract the .iso file by using an extraction tool, such as WinRar.
8.Clear %temp% before going to start Visual Studio 2015 installation
9.Install Visual Studio 2015 using this extracted setup installer

Hi xdzgor,
Is there any update about this issue?
Would you mind sharing your result or solution here?
If you think my reply is helpful, please mark my reply as answer, it will be easier for other members who meet similar problem.
If the error persists, Please repair all Visual C++ redistributable, and then you could use Visual Studio Uninstaller to uninstall visual studio completely (please run it a couple times). After this, install visual studio 2015 not update 3, you could download it from here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48146.
If everything is ok, installing visual studio 2015 update 3: https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
