I got the error while installing Visual Studio Ultimate 2013...

Unable to Locate Package Source.

Download Packages from the Internet

• Skip Package
• Please Provide a Location to search for the packages
• D:\packages\VS_Clean\VS_PreClean_vs.exe

I’m using Win7 SP1.

My log file (dd_vs_ultimate_20140519153414) is showing Failed to send request and failed to get status code for the Link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=319047

Hi Lorade123,

I believe your error is actually due to corrupt package. Please try redownload a healthy ISO from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=40778( Direct ISO link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=320679)

Then use the File Checksum Integrity Verifier tool to verify your ISO checksum and make sure it matches the following:

• CRC: B15A8A51

• SHA-1: DFC763DBE91060D0A5FC25D5DB2EFFD5C5A2163E

After that, you can restart your installation.
