Step 2 - Try repairing Visual Studio
Repair fixes many common update issues. For more information on when and how to use the repair functionality in Visual Studio, see Repair Visual Studio.
Step 3 - Check with the developer community
Search on your error message with the Visual Studio Developer Community. Other members of the community might have documented a solution to your problem.
Step 4 - Delete the Visual Studio Installer directory to fix upgrade problems
The Visual Studio Installer bootstrapper is a minimal light-weight executable that installs the rest of the Visual Studio Installer. Deleting Visual Studio Installer files and then rerunning the bootstrapper might solve some update failures.
Note
Performing the following actions reinstalls the Visual Studio Installer files and resets the installation metadata.
- Close the Visual Studio Installer.
- Delete the Visual Studio Installer directory. Typically, the directory is
C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual StudioInstaller
. - Run the Visual Studio Installer bootstrapper. You might find the bootstrapper in your Downloads folder with a file name that follows a
vs_[Visual Studio edition]__*.exe
pattern. If you don't find that application, you can download the bootstrapper by going to the Visual Studio downloads page and clicking Download for your edition of Visual Studio. Then, run the executable to reset your installation metadata. - Try to install or update Visual Studio again. If the Installer continues to fail, go to the next step.

Installation logs
Setup logs are needed to troubleshoot most installation issues. When you submit an issue by using Report a Problem in the Visual Studio Installer, these logs are automatically included in your report.
If you contact Microsoft Support, you might need to provide these setup logs by using the Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET Framework Log Collection Tool. The log collection tool collects setup logs from all components installed by Visual Studio, including .NET Framework, Windows SDK, and SQL Server. It also collects computer information, a Windows Installer inventory, and Windows event log information for Visual Studio Installer, Windows Installer, and System Restore.
To collect the logs:
- Download the tool.
- Open an administrative command prompt.
- Run
Collect.exe
from the directory where you saved the tool. - Find the resulting
vslogs.zip
file in your%TEMP%
directory, for example,C:UsersYourNameAppDataLocalTempvslogs.zip
.
Note
The tool must be run under the same user account that the failed installation was run under. If you are running the tool from a different user account, set the –user:<name>
option to specify the user account under which the failed installation was run. Run Collect.exe -?
from an administrator command prompt for additional options and usage information.
