Unable to update Visual Studio 2019 using the updates provided on Microsoft Catalogue

Dhanraj Devendran 1

I am trying to update my Visual Studio 2019 (16.11.10) to (16.11.12) using the update "Visual Studio 2019 version 16.11.0 to 16.11.12 update" available on Microsoft Catalogue. When I try to double click and run it, the installation window itself does not open and exe is not installing. Could you anyone help out with how I can update the Visual studio using the updates available on Catalogue?

Thanks and Regards,

D.Dhanraj

If you need the latest update, maybe it is better to use the Visual Studio Installer, which should be available on your computer.

Hi @Viorel ,

If it is a single machine, it is ok to do it manually. But there are many machines that need to be updated and as an administrator, I need to be able to install it using the updates available on MS catalogue but I could not do it , as the installation screen itself is not prompting.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi @Dhanraj Devendran ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

I think the name of the corresponding update package is wrong, as you can see

Visual Studio 2019 (16.11.10) to (16.11.12) using the update "Visual Studio 2019 version 16.11.0 to 16.11.12 update"…

Normally, we will use VS Installer to update VS, like Viorel-1 mentioned above. I notice that you want to deploy and manage VS for many machines, please kindly check if this doc helps: Programmatically update the client machines.

Update1:

I haven't checked the resource that you mentioned yet, I will check it.

Hi @Tianyu Sun-MSFT ,

Though the naming convention is different that this update will Visual Studio 2019 (16.11.0) to (16.11.12), it is also applicable to all the 16.11 versions as per the description of the update (Please refer the below snapshot). So, I should be able to update it from 16.11.10 to 16.11.12. I went through the link provided by you to update the client machines programmatically.But, I don't see they are making use of the update available on catalogue.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi D.Dhanraj,

Thanks for your reply.

I downloaded the package from MUC and tested on my side with a single machine. I can reproduce your issue, since I didn’t add and set the AdministratorUpdatesEnabled REG_DWORD key to 1, I get the error code 1005.

Did you set the AdministratorUpdatesEnabled registry value to 1?

I suggest you download this collect.exe tool and run it to collect the VS log files. After that go to %Temp% folder and find the packaged vslogs.zip file and open the Temp file inside it. There are many files named dd_UpdateDriver_XXXXXXX.log and you can sort them by date and check the latest one.

You can then match the error code mentioned here: Error codes and conditions.

Other suggestions: If you also meet the 1005 error code, you can also refer to these docs:

Encoding administrator intent on the client machines

Registry keys

Have a great day.

Best Regards,
Tianyu

Hi @Tianyu Sun-MSFT ,

Thanks for the above detailed steps and guidelines which helped to see the logs on where we stand , I do see in the log now saying "UpdateDriver Completed Successfully " but when I see in the control panel its same version it still shows as you can see from the logs which I have attached ,

To be specific I'm trying to upgrade VS 2019 from 16.11.10 to 16.11.15 by the update "Visual Studio 2019 version 16.11.0 to 16.11.15 update " which is available on Microsoft Catalogue.

i have attached log for your reference which collected form collect tool . And to add I have manually created "AdministratorUpdatesEnabled " and enabled to 1 as well .

Thanks in advance

Thanks
Ramesh
