A Setup package is either missing or damaged - VsHub_Core.msi

Question

Saturday, June 4, 2016 1:16 AM

Hi,

I am trying to create an offline installer for Visual Studio 2015 Express using the following command line: "wdexpress_full_ENU.exe /layout vs2015DesktopExpress", where vs2015DesktopExpress is a folder in the same path as wdexpress_full_ENU.exe.

I get stopped at the error "A Setup package is either missing or damaged", and the file in question seems to be VsHub_Core.msi.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Dear ArmandJordaan,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

>> I get stopped at the error "A Setup package is either missing or damaged", and the file in question seems to be VsHub_Core.msi.

Did you meet this issue during the downloading of the offline installer or the VS 2015 express installation?

If it happens during the downloading, please try to use the command: wdexpress_full_ENU.exe /layout in the elevated command prompt, choose another store folder in the VS installer screen screenshot.

If you meet this issue during the installation, you can try to select the option of download it from the internet or assign the location of this file on your computer, it should can be found under the offline installer.

I tried to download the offline installer and store the same folder with the wdexpress_full_ENU.exe and see if I can reproduce this issue on my side or not, it is in progress.

Meanwhile, please try to disable any-virus software, clean up %temp% folder and run the command prompt as administrator before you download the offline installer.

If this issue still persists, I need your help to collect the log. Please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.zip under %temp% folder. Please upload the file to https://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link here.

Update: I have tried the same scenario like yours, it looks like the downloading work fine and I can download a offline installer.

Best regards,

Sara
