Installing Visual Studio
 

To install Visual Studio 2015, you can use the installation media from a boxed product, or you can download the installation files from visualstudio.com.

For information about each edition of Visual Studio 2015, including system requirements, see Compare Visual Studio Offerings.

This document provides the following installation information:

Typical vs. Custom Setup


The installation experience for Visual Studio 2015 enables you to include or exclude components that you would use on a daily basis. This can result in a smaller and faster installation for a Typical installation. It also means that in previous versions, many components that were installed by default now are considered Custom components that you must explicitly select in this version. Custom components include Visual C++, Visual F#, SQL Server Data Tools, Cross-platform mobile tools and SDKs, and 3rd party SDKs and extensions. You can install any of the custom components at a later time if you don't select them during initial setup. The complete list of custom components is as follows:

  • Programming Languages

    • Visual C++ compilers, libraries and Tools

    • Visual F#

    • Python Tools for Visual Studio

  • Windows and Web Development

    • ClickOnce Publishing Tools

    • Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools

    • Microsoft Web Developer Tools

    • PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio

    • Silverlight Development Kit

    • Universal Windows App Development Tools

    • Windows 10 Tools and SDKs

    • Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools

    • Windows 8.1 Tools and SDKs

  • Cross Platform Mobile Development

    • Xamarin (C#/.NET)

    • Apache Cordova (HTML/JavaScript)

    • Visual C++ Mobile Development for iOS / Android

  • Common Tools and SDKs

    • Android Native Development Kit (R10E, 32 bits)

    • Android SDK

    • Android SDK Setup (API Level 19 and 21)

    • Android SDK Setup (API Level 22)

    • Apache Ant (1.9.3)

    • Java SE Development Kit (7.0.550.13)

    • Joyent Node.js

  • Common Tools

    • Git for Windows

    • GitHub Extensions for Visual Studio

    • Visual Studio Extensibility Tools

Installing Visual Studio


You need administrator credentials to install Visual Studio. However, you don't need them to use Visual Studio after you install it.

Your local administrator account must have the following privileges enabled to install everything in Visual Studio.

 

Local Policy Object Display Name

User Right

Backup Files and directories

SeBackupPrivilege

Debug programs

SeDebugPrivilege

Manage auditing and security log

SeSecurityPrivilege

For more information on this local administrator account requirement, see the Knowledge Base article, SQL Server installation fails if the Setup account does not have certain user rights.

Installing by using installation media


  • To install Visual Studio, in the root directory on the Visual Studio installation media, run the installation file for the edition you want:

     

    Edition

    Installation File

    Visual Studio Enterprise

    vs_enterprise.exe

    Visual Studio Professional

    vs_professional.exe

    Visual Studio Community

    vs_community.exe

Downloading Visual Studio for an offline installation


In most cases, you can install Visual Studio from the download site with no problems. However, in some cases, you may want to download all the update packages before you install them (for example, to install on multiple machines or on an offline machine). The following steps explain how to download all the update packages that you need for an offline installation.

  1. After you download the update executable from the MSDN website to a location on your file system, run the following command at a command prompt: <executable name> /layout.

    This command downloads all the packages for the installation.

    By using the /layout switch, you can download all the core installation packages, not just the ones that apply to the download machine. This approach gives you all the files that you need to run this update anywhere and may be useful if you want to install components that weren't installed originally.

  2. After you run the command, you should be prompted for the download location. Enter the location, and then choose Download.

  3. When the package download is successful, you should see a Visual Studio screen that says Setup Successful! All specified components have been acquired successfully.

  4. In the file location that you specified, find the executable file and the package folder. This is everything you need to copy to a shared location or install media.

  5. You can now run the installation from the file location or the install media.

Installing Visual Studio in virtualized environments


Video Issues with Hyper-V

If you run Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V enabled and an accelerated graphics adapter, you may experience system slowdowns.

For more information, see the following page on the Microsoft website: Video performance may decrease when a Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 based computer has the Hyper-V role enabled and an accelerated display adapter installed.

Emulating Devices with Hyper-V

When you install Visual Studio 2015 on real hardware without virtualization, you can choose features that enable emulation of Windows and Android devices using Hyper-V. When you install into Hyper-V, you will not be able to emulate the Windows or Android devices. This is because the emulators are themselves virtual machines, and you cannot currently host a VM inside another VM. The workaround is to have real Windows or Android devices to which you can directly deploy and debug your application.

Using command-line parameters


When you run the installation application, you can use the following command-line parameters, which are case-insensitive.

/?

/help

Troubleshooting installation


Use these resources to get help for setup and installation issues:

  • Visual Studio Setup and Installation forum. Review questions and answers from others in the Visual Studio community. If you don't find what you need, ask your own questions.

  • Microsoft Support for Visual Studio website. Read knowledge base (KB) articles and learn how to contact Microsoft Support for information about issues with Visual Studio installation.

  • For releases of Visual Studio 2015, you can report your issue by using the Connect site at https://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio.

    It’s best if your issue includes the installation logs. You can prepare your logs for the issue report by using the Microsoft Visual Studio and .NET Framework Log Collection Tool, as described in the following steps.

    1. Download the installation diagnostic tool from http://aka.ms/vscollect

    2. From an elevated command prompt, run the collect.exe program.

    3. After the collect.exe program completes, fetch the vslogs.cab file from your Temp directory and upload that into the issue report.

Enterprise network deployment


For information about how to deploy Visual Studio over a network, see Visual Studio Administrator Guide.

After Visual Studio is installed

Registering Visual Studio


To register Visual Studio

  1. On the menu bar, choose Help, About.

    The About dialog box shows the product identification number (PID). You'll need the PID and Windows Account credentials (such as a Hotmail or Outlook.com email address and password) to register the product.

  2. On the menu bar, choose Help, Register Product.

Installing offline Help content


After you install Visual Studio, you can download additional Help content so that it will be available offline.

To install or uninstall Help content
