Hi IPrimol,

>>MicroUpdate 1.1 for Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 : The installer failed. KB3110221 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer. Error code: 0x80044000

This product did not download successfully.

If you search for kb3110221 you will find a link to  KB 3110221: Servicing Update to Visual Studio..

On that page there is a working download link and a link to  Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 servicing update, which explains

This servicing update provides fixes to Visual Studio 2015 that address four high-impact bugs that were either found by the product team or reported from the community. This update can be installed only on machines that have Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 applied. All four fixes are included in the one update installer and can't be consumed individually. The fixes that are provided in this update will also be released in the next Visual Studio 2015 update.

and

This update is available for manual download and installation from the Microsoft Download Center.

Before installing Windows update, you should follow the steps below, because something is blocking the update installation:

  1. Disable anti-virus or anti-spyware software.
  2. Check windows update.
  3. Clear %TEMP% folder.
  4. Run the installer as administrator.

Hello Lana,

Is there anyway to find out what might be blocking the installation?

Because,i have tried everything but nothing seems to work. :(

I always like to keep my windows updated and i am sure there are no more updates available.

my temp folder is empty,i have completely disabled my kaspersky antivirus.But still i am facing the same problem.

I am right now using the older version of VS 2015 as this new version is not getting installed properly.

Thank you.

Hello IPimol,

Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.

The error -2147205120 means FFFFFFFF80044000. According to Heath's blog:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/heaths/archive/2014/04/17/error-in-installation-log-for-visual-studio-2013-update-2-rc-can-be-misleading.aspx

From the error massage you pasted, Visual C++ iOS Development, Visual C++ Android Development  and Tools for Universal Windows Apps (1.2) and Windows 10 SDK failed to install.

Error code 0x80044000 is that a condition is blocking install which is displayed in the error dialog and also found in the log as “Stop Block”. So we have to check more things from your logs.

 In order to narrow down the problems of VS setup, there are some tips about installing VS:

  • Disable anti-virus or anti-spyware software.
  • Check windows update.
  • Clear %TEMP% folder.
  • Run the installer as administrator.

After you make sure that it is a good installer, please install.

You should make sure you’ve followed these tips:

http://aka.ms/vscollectto gather the installation logs.

If the above still doesn't help, I need you installation log file to troubleshoot this issue,
please use 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

Hello Lana,

That fix didn't work either.

I uninstalled the program and then installed it again by disabling my Kaspersky antivirus.** **

I forgot to mention about this error before,it happens when i install the software but,it seems like repairing fixes the problem later.

  • MicroUpdate 1.1 for Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 : The installer failed. KB3110221 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer. Error code: 0x80044000

Here's the link to vslog file.
