Problems installing Dot Net Core 1.0.0 VS 2015 Tools Preview 2

Question

Each time I try to install the DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.exe package I get an error saying the following:

Setup Failed On

Answer 1

I tried this first from @Andrey

DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.exe SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1

This partly worked as in I was able to complete the installations. On VS startup there was a warning message that some components would not work. I was able to edit code but not to run an example app.

I remembered an earlier warning message from the "Visual Studio Community 2015" installation about mismatching versions of "Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable". So my next experiment was to go into "Control Panel -- Programs and Features" and uninstall the 2 x examples I found "(x64)" and "(x86)". I then ran a repair installation of "Visual Studio Community 2015". Success.
