Unable to install visual c++ with visual studio installer

awz69Vz.png



I have been getting this error since the past 14 hours.
At first I was like its probably something with my computer so I reset it, and also tried it on another computer.
Tried with a VPN as well, so I guess its a server outage but it has been far too long to go unnoticed on a company of scale as large as microsoft.
This only happens with "Desktop development with c++" as I was able to get ".NET desktop development" to work.

Hi @Kirito567-7884 ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

The issue has been reported in Developer Community:
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Not-able-to-install-any-previous-version/1441795

It is caused by CDN and you can repair your installation to fix it.
As a workaround, you can also try adding below to your host file (c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts):
68.232.34.200 download.visualstudio.microsoft.com

If the issue still persists, you can also add your comments in there to track the process.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Anna
