Hi,
I installed MCVS 2015 and my C++ project worked. It was updated automatically and after that it gave error "...Please save your solution before managing NuGet packages". After that "the project file was unloaded". But when I tried other projects the error changed to "Failed to locate: "CL.exe. The system cannot find the file specified". I did search and found out I need to VS 2015: File -> New Project -> Visual C++ -> Install Visual C++ 20015 for windows desktop". I continued the procedure and now it is asking "Download packages from the internet"
or "Please provide a location to search for the packages: (a path) ...
Since I crashed two of my project files, could you tell me which one I should choose and if the second one which path?

Hi Relaz,
So sorry for my delay reply.
The error: "Please provide a location to search for the packages: means setup cannot find this msi to install which may indicated that your installation package is corrupt.
In this case I suggest you use a healthy VS iso image to repair it first.
VS 2015 iso Microsoft official download link:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx
VS 2015 iso files SHA-1 Values link:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-2015-iso-sha1-vs.aspx
PS: To make sure whether your package is corrupted or not,
please use FCIV.exe http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290 to verify hash of the ISO.
Any discrepancy would indicate that the file was corrupted. Here is a blog for how to use it, you can refer to it.
If the above still doesn't help, I need you installation log file to troubleshoot this issue,
please use http://aka.ms/vscollectto gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder. Please upload the file to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here

Hi Relaz,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
From your description, I think you didn't download the Visual C++ components on your machine.
Please go to Control Panel >Programs >Programs and Features,
then select Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and click on 'modify'
Choose Visual C++ components and install:
In addition, if you installed VS 2015 by iso image, please open the iso file and try to find Visual C++ components package and then install it on your machine.
Best Regards,
Wen Xu

Thanks for reply.
I clicked on 'modify', but the same window appears asking "Download packages from the internet"
or "Please provide a location to search for the packages: (a path) ... (Why I cannot upload a picture here?!)
If a location should be provided, I dont know what and where the package is.
