Hi Lana,

Thank you for response, the very first problem still persist

1. Visual studio solution closes itself automatically after 2 seconds, so I'm unable to create/open project solution.

2. Is it possible to work in mobile application with Visual studio 2015 update 2(already installed Xamarin)

Many thanks for your time.

Hi Jawaharraj,

If you develop mobile application, I think you need to run emulator on Hyper-V, but this feature only exists on Win10.

Hi,

Firstly, please repair your VS :

1.Go to Control Panel >Programs >Programs and Features

2.Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and click on 'repair'.

you may try some devenv switches in command prompt:

a.Run devenv /Resetsettings to eliminate the cause of corrupted settings.

b.Run devenv /ResetSkipPkgs in Command Prompt.

c.Run devenv /Safemode to see if you can apply it correctly. This can eliminate the possibility that third party Add-ins or packages are causing problems.

Reboot the machine in Safe Mode. This can isolate some third party application/driver's interference.
Switch and try a new user account. This can rule out the possibility of corrupted user profile.

If the error persists, then you may try to running devenv.exe /log <log path> in Command Prompt, the log files will be generated in the <log path>.

Then you can check and analyze the log file to see if there are anything incorrect.

Besides,Please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder.

Please upload the file tohttps://onedrive.live.com/ and share the link with us.

Hi Jawaharraj89,

I checked the log and find the following error message:

MSI (s) (7C:E8) [12:54:29:422]: WIN64DUALFOLDERS: Substitution in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Source\10.0.10150.0\ucrt\internal\shared_initialization.cpp' folder had been blocked by the 1 mask argument (the folder pair's iSwapAttrib member = 0).

For this issue, I think you need to go to your Task Manager check if there is any software that blocks the VS, if so, please turn off them. at the same time, disable anti-virus or anti-spyware software.

Hi Lana Xu,

I checked 'Task master', but i didn't find any software blocking VS 2015, i already have VS2012 its working properly. It would be helpful if any tool to check/unblock the lock. Sorry for delayed replay.

Many thanks for your time.

Kind regards

When you do the VS Setup , there are some tips about installing VS:

Disable anti-virus or anti-spyware software.

Clear %TEMP% folder.
Run the installer as administrator.

Hi,

Thanks for the immediate response. VS2015 setup is successful(with SDK missing component, no issue with it will install that component separately), but can't able to open existing project in VS2015 version.

Kind regards

Hi my friend,

From your description, I suspect it is related to the project and VS compatibility.

For more details, please refer to:

Hi Lana Xu,

Thanks for response, unfortunately it also happens while creating new project using VS2015. what i did so far,

1. Click VS2015.exe

2. VS2015 opens and automatically close after 2 second(not allows me do any operation in it)

same happen while opening existing project in VS2015. This problems eat my whole week.

Many thanks for your time.

Kind regards.

Hi my friend,

If the situation happens when you create a new project, it seems that the cause is still pending on VS itself. You could use a good iso to repair your VS first.

Hi Lana Xu,

Thanks for response, now visual studio installation works fine, but when creating new "android application" i got this error like 'Value can not be null'. It happens only for Android based project only, web based project and other project type works fine.

I attached screen print for your reference(https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=38E052C1DF61D70D!119&authkey=!AGqo1hZuYimWGSc&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng).

Hi,

Please use the latest SDK and use the cross compilation options when compiling. To use the options completely correctly requires the rt.jar of a JRE (not JDK) of the target version.
