Installing Visual Studio 2013: "Microsoft Nuget package failed"

0

Trying to install Visual Studio Express 2013 for windows desktop:

System specs: Windows 7 64bit pro

After installing I get this message. enter image description here

Restarting does not solve the problem and after that VS will not start.

Here is the important part of the log file that I could find:

I have tried re-installing .net frame work and re-installing VS multiple times. If someone could tell me what to try next that would be great.

Answer from http://johnlouros.com/blog/how-to-fix-VS2015-CTP6-NuGet-installation-failure seems to be:

  • download Visual Studio ISO image,
  • extract shipped NuGet cab,
  • uninstall current NuGet version (the web-auto-installer pulled a latest-but-broken version),
  • install version extracted from ISO

That said, while writing this, I've tried running Control Panel, Visual studio, modify program, Repair and it now starts so that night work for you too! Hth

So basically I could not figure out what was wrong here and nothing was working. I think this was an issue with an old harddrive that I replaced. Even after I cloned the drive I had to reinstall my OS to fix this as well as some other problems
