Unable to install Visual Studio Professional 2022

Question

Hi,

I've been unable to install Visual Studio Professional 2022 - I get the "preparing the installer" dialog, which appears to download and update the installer, then the window disappears and the main Visual Studio installer never appears.

I previously had one of the 2022 Preview builds installed, and have removed that, but still no luck unfortunately.

Here's my vslogs.zip (from collect.exe): https://app.box.com/s/suj49slxm12hqic4ljxctrm1fozpxzcf

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Scottie

Answer 1

I was able to successfully install VS 2022 by using chocolatey instead:

choco install visualstudio2022professional

After this I was able to start VS2022, although I then had to run Visual Studio Installer (installed with the choco package) to add support for C# etc.

Hi @Scottie

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Could you launch visual studio installer by running vs_installershell.exe under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer to retry your installation?

Please check the Visual Studio 2022 System Requirements and run the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix Windows Updates errors. And update your Windows to the latest version.

Then, clean up your %temp% folder, restart your computer and re-download the Visual Studio from the download page to run as administrator: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

Sincerely,
Anna
