VS 2015 Community Edition Update 2 Not Installing


I already had Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Update 3 installed on my computer but realized some programs won't run with it and I needed to downgrade to Update 2. I found this link which is the version I need but whenever I run the setup it retrieves Update 3 in the list. I can't seem to get Update 2 installed. Is it because I had the Update 3 installed before? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Maybe someone knows a direct link to the Update 2 ISO!

Thanks.


Solution

  • Have you tried to completely remove the VS 2015 community with update 3? If not, please try to download the VisualStudioUninstaller to clean up and delete Preview, RC and final releases of Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio 2015, as well as early previews of Visual Studio 2017, and you can run it for several times.

    Follow this document: How to: Install a Specific Release of Visual Studio to download the VS community 2015 RTM version from the same website that you shared in here , then use the specific command like vs_community.exe /OverrideFeedURI http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/B/06BB0C5C-C767-4250-91DA-AB463377597E/20160405.3/enu/feed.xml or vs_ community.exe /OverrideFeedURI http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/B/06BB0C5C-C767-4250-91DA-AB463377597E/20160405.3/enu/feed.xml to install the VS community 2015 with update 2 per your requirement.
