I have a problem when I try to reinstall the ODT 2017: I already had it installed, but when I opened Visual Studio and wanted to check the connection it shows the error "The requested .NET Framework data provider is not found. It may not be installed."
I uninstalled it, and then when I wanted to reinstall it, I was amazed at the error that it was still installed, "Oracle Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2017 is already installed. Please uninstall and try again."
I don't know if I have a folder or file in a hidden folder...
Okay, I am not exactly sure why this worked but I don't want to mess with it since it is working great right now.
I had tried all the methods of manually removing Oracle software and none of that seemed to work. I started exploring the command line options and was trying to force an uninstall even though it wasn't installed. I was hoping it would clear something out.
From command line I tried:
ODTforVS2017_122010.exe /V /uninstall
However, instead of uninstalling anything, it launched into the normal install. Only this time, it worked! Go figure.
Just in case this had something to do with it... Just before this, I accidentally started the install for the VS 2015 version which started normally. Was really excited until I realized it was the wrong version. Maybe this cleared something out? No idea...
I have to move on and finish before the deadline. I hope this helps you.

The accepted answer did not work for me, so I had to investigate further. I was able to solve the problem by manually uninstalling the vsix from Visual Studio (using the Visual Studio 2017 Command Prompt):
vsixinstaller /a /u:"Oracle.VsDevTools.15.0"
Then, I simply ran the installer again and it worked.
In my case the issue was that even after my previous uninstall with the wizard, the extension (ODT) still on VS2017 but it was disabled, so i uninstalled it from VS and then installed it again with the wizard

I'm attempting to install DotVVM in Visual Studio 2019. Right now I can find it when I 'manage extensions' and it downloads and installs without error. However when I restart Visual Studio post installation I get an error stating 'The DotVVM package did not load correctly' and points me to an xml output file. The contents of said file shows:
SetSite failed for package [DotvvmPackage]

Now I have been trying to find other topics and came across many that said to delete (or rename) the '%appData%'/Local/Microsoft/VisualStudio/16.0/ComponentModelCache' folder which I've tried with no luck. Removed it out of every VisualStudio version folders as well. Restarted Visual Studio of course after. That folder did rebuild itself but I got the same error again.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it as well. Tired with running Visual Studio as an admin for kicks. Even downloaded the DotVVM.Integration.VisualStudio.2019.RTM.vsix file directly (both 4.0.534 and 4.0.539) and installing it that way with no luck.
I also tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio 2019 all together with no luck. I made sure the entire VisualStudio/16.0 folder was also gone between installs.
I have been able to install other extensions alright just to see.
It seems like I'm missing something or some files when it's trying to install, but I can't figure out what. Any ideas?
Turns out my version of Visual Studio was the issue. My cooperate environment locks me to 16.10.2 which is not the latest version. Visual Studio updates claims I'm up to date but I am not.
The version of DotVVM (4.0.539) doesn't support version 16.10.2 of visual studio, hence the error. I did find an older version of DotVVM (2.5.254) that does support that version of visual studio and that worked fine.
When i try create new blank application in nanoframework, i get package installation error.
error message
It seems some problem in nanoframework visual studio extension, my version is NET nanoFramework VS2019 Extension v2019.5.0.8.vsix, but i also tried another versions with same problem.
I have visual studio 2019 community edition and i have installed almost all components.
When i press ok, project is loaded, but is not possible compile it, because there are missing all assemblies. When i try add assembly, theres nothing to add and add nuget packages from nanoframework store leads to error.
when i try this:
pm> Install-Package nanoFramework.CoreLibrary.NoReflection -Version
1.10.1-preview.9
I get this error:
NU1202: Package nanoFramework.CoreLibrary.NoReflection
1.10.1-preview.9 is not compatible with netnanoframework10 (.NETna noFramework,Version=v1.0). Package
nanoFramework.CoreLibrary.NoReflection 1.10.1-preview.9 supports: net
(.NETFramework,Version=v0.0)
similiar when i try another package versions.
So the extensions is installed incorectly, but i cant find why. i tried it more times. uninstall and install again. from extenstion store, and from disc. nothing successfull.
The webserver NuGet released today fixes the issues with the version mismatches.
The issue with VS2019 16.9 remains. Reported to VS Developer Community here. Please up vote to help increase priority.
What is the Community version you're using?
After a little test, there seems to be an issue with the latest release of VS2019. A work around would be to:
Use V16.8.X
or
use an already created solution that you can edit.
or
add the required nuget to the project once it has been loaded (after the error):
Update: now fixed! it was due to a change to fix nuget, but caused an unintended consequence with nanoFramework.
I keep getting the error mentioned in the title and shown in the attached image. This is on a fresh installation of VS 2019 Community edition and new .NET framework console application project. I have thoroughly googled for the error and tried all solutions I could find online and even contacted Microsoft Support chat, but no solutions have worked so far. I made a forum post on the VS developer community as well but it has been a week and I haven't heard from anyone. I have never experienced this issue before, this happens in any project/solution I open.
This exact is issue reported on the VS developer forum but the answer there was to download the latest version of Visual studio which I do have (16.7.4), yet the error still persists. There are similar issues here on stack
Here are the things that I’ve tried:
Repaired installation
Ran C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\resources\app\layout\InstallCleanup.exe -full
Uninstalled and reinstalled
Restarted PC
Checked if vsdebugeng.impl.dll exists in [VSInstallDir]\Common7\Packages\Debugger\, [VSInstallDir]\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x86\ and [VSInstallDir]\Common7\IDE\Remote Debugger\x64\
Ran VS in safe mode and with administrative privileges
I haven’t tried installing an earlier version of visual studio though, would that be my only solution? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Fixed this by formatting my PC from Windows 10 Enterprise edition to Home.
I got the exact same problem posted here:
Attempting to Install an extension to VS2019 results in a NullReferenceException
Same error, same log.
But since I cannot comment nor answer and the question has not been answered as of yet, I'm asking again.
I am using VS2019 Community, but I had VS2017 Enterprise at one point. (student license)
Every single extension I tried to install so far has led to this error. For example "Live Share", "Open Command Line", "Github Extension for Visual Studio", "Markdown Editor".
I believe it started with Live Share when suddenly an update wouldn't install for no reason. I guess that was back with VS2017 even. But I cannot recall, I just assume. With the newly installed VS2019 I was never able to install any extension via the in-app Extension feature, nor by downloading with browser and then trying to open it.
What I've tried:
0) Every suggestion by Perry Qian-MSFT
1) Repairing Visual Studio 2019
2) Reinstalling Visual Studio 2019
3) Uninstalling "Live Share"
4) Deleting various Folders or contents thereof:
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017 (trying to get rid of any remnants)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions
Next I'll deinstall as much as possible: VS2019 and Installer and try to see what's left, what could have remained that causes such pain in the a***.
But since my internet will be busy with reinstalling afterwards for a while this question goes up now.
Update1: The installer made some problems getting uninstalled. Deinstallation via Windows Software Management failed with an error but it was still removed from the list. Now I've deleted the folder and will try and reinstall the installer. I don't know why I didn't try that before throwing it all over board.
Update2: I decided to start with a simple barebones VS2019 version without any workloads. But it still doesn't work. So back to throwing everything out and looking for the remainder.
Update3: I now tried to delete various folders then reboot and tried to reinstall a barebone VS 2019 Community again. Still same error.
Here's a list:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Unity
C:\Program Files (x86)\NuGet
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild (except for .\Microsoft\Windows Workflow Foundation)
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio Services
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Microsoft Visual Studio
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Visual Studio Setup
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\vs_installershell
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\vs-report-problem
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2013
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2017
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Visual Studio 2019
Oddly enough my personal settings are still persistent. So these will be my next target. But where are they stored? Any pointers?
Update4: Seems like settings are stored in a cloud, hm. I made a local backup and tried to reset them resulting in yet another error.
Your settings were reset, but there were some errors.
Error 1: An error occurred while importing settings for 'Product Updates' [code 5396].
Was this 'Product Updates' Setting the culprit?
Update5: The settings reset didn't seem to accomplish anything at all.
Update6: So, I've signed out of VS, reinstalled VS2019 again and this time it seems like settings were actually reset. Still no luck. This is getting really frustrating.
That's it. I'm done. Apart from reinstalling Windows 10 I have no clue what could help now. Maybe there was some registry error? I am lost here.
Thanks to #dxiv who made me aware of the InstallCleanup.exe.
I don't know what that tool does additionally to what I did and I cannot tell what was wrong in the first place. But that thing actually helped!
Thanks again!
I've just downloaded the ASP.MVC MSI package, but the installation fails with the "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." message.
I see that other people too have the same problem (http://forums.asp.net/p/1336453/2699267.aspx). Anybody else?
I'm running VS 2008 Professional edition with SP1 on Vista.
Some additional info: entries like Error in Template (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\Workflow\1033\StateMachineWorkflowLibrary.zip), file (StateMachineWorkflowLibrary.vstemplate). Unregistered ProjectType (VisualBasic). This can be caused by an incorrect ProjectType or because the project type package is not installed. appear in the event log.
BTW I don't have VisualBasic installed. I'm thinking about reinstalling VisualStudio ... :|
I removed all the bad templates and this didn't resolve the issue for me. I found that removing other Add-Ins I had installed let me install Beta 1. In my case the bad add-in preventing the install was Clone Detective.
I had this exact error message from a completely different MSI package - the DevExpress toolkit - turned out to be caused by one of the "defensive" packages installed on my machine.
Check your anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-intrusion, firewall, anti-xxx etc etc packages to see if any of them might be stopping scripts from running properly.
Hope this helps.
The installer is trying to add templates to the VB package without checking to see if it exists first (ScottGuuuuuuu!).
If the rest of MVC is installed and working, forget about it. If not, you don't have to reinstall VS. A quick fix is to simply install Visual Basic (e.g, modify your installation rather than reinstall it).
Okey, like Simon said, Clone Detective addin was the troublemaker which prevented the installation of ASP MVC. I deinstalled Clone Detective and now MVC has installed without problems. Thanks guys!
