Question

I\'m currently on my third attempt trying to install Visual Studio 2015 on this computer. I have tried rebooting, hard shut downs, canceling setup and restarting, etc. Each time

Answer 1

I had this problem a couple of hours before writing this answer and what worked for me was: I opened other programs at least two or three and went to power and clicked on restart as usual it will warn you about open programs that need too be closed before shutdown or programs that are currently active I then clicked on force close and it closed the first program that I recently opened then I quickly clicked on cancel. Two minutes later instalation was back on track
