Hi there,
A few days ago my installed Visual Studio 2019 mentioned that Visual Studio cannot start, due to a running setup. Previously everything works well and I cannot exactly specify what happend before Visual Studio doesn't work anymore. However, after trying out several things I decided to completely uninstall Visual Studio.
Because I need RDLC extension for Visual Studio I tried to re-install Visual Studio 2019, instead of 2022. Unfortunately the installation stuck for hours at "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestPlatform.IDE". I tried to install Visual Studio 2019 without any workloads select (base setup) and this worked. Afterwards I tried to install the RDLC extension, but it requires some features, which were not installed. These feature installations also got stuck.
Because I need Visual Studio in my daily business and I can't figure out whats wrong I've now tried to install VS2022, but unfortunately it also got stuck at "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestPlatform.IDE".
Do you have any tips or hints into the right direction?
I attached the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestPlatform.IDE.log of the Visual Studio/.NET Log Collection Tool (Collect.exe)
158549-dd-setup-20211217193408-001-microsoftvisualstudiot.log
Maybe one addition, I'm running Windows 11 (22000.376).
Thank you in advance!
Hello @Anonymous
Would be very difficult to do an assessment you with such small information, as your log file just contains barely 10 seconds of running, and no errors detected there. Would be it be possible to provide a wider sample?
Thank you in advance,

Hi @Limitless Technology , thanks very much for your kindly help and support:) Actually OP’s( ChristophKrieg-5503 ) issue has been resolved. The installation process was blocked by the antivirus software (ESET), so the solution is deactivating this antivirus software and some related services of it. I will help OP( ChristophKrieg-5503 ) make a summary and post it below to benefit more forum members.
