When I open the installer, it asks me to give permission for it to run. When I press yes, it does nothing.
The installers located in the download folder and when I check Task Manager it doesn't appear there.
Is there anything I can do to fix this as other executable files run.
(I also use Windows Defender as my antivirus.)
Hi, I have not heard from you for a couple of days. Please let me know if there is anything that I can help here.
Hi @Hextav-8531 ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
Have you tried to run the Visual Studio Installer as administrator? Does it work?
You can try to manually delete the "%programfiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer” folder.
Then, re-download the bootstrapper file from the following Microsoft Site and run it as administrator.
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
Before the installation, please temporarily disable the anti-virus software.
Sincerely,
Anna
