Thanks for sharing the screenshot. Based on the image, it looks like you’ve already installed several .NET components:
What You’ve Already Done
From your screenshot, you've installed:
- .NET Framework 4.6 Targeting Pack
- .NET SDK 8.0.843
- ASP.NET Core 8.0 Shared Framework
These are good starts, but Visual Studio may require specific runtime versions or additional workloads depending on the edition and features you're installing.
Common Installation Issues & Fixes
- Installer Fails Due to Missing .NET Versions
Visual Studio often needs older .NET Framework versions (e.g., 4.8 or 3.5) for legacy components. According to internal feedback:
- KB5003306 (.NET 4.8) has caused failures due to corrupted CAB files or missing servicing stack components [1].
- DISM logs often show errors like: Error DISM Package Manager: Failed opening package. - hr:0x80004002
Fix: Manually install .NET Framework 4.8 using the offline installer from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net48.
- Installer Cache Path Issues
Some users set the installer cache path to restricted folders like D:\WindowsApps
, which causes permission errors [2].
Fix: Run the installer with default settings or change the cache path to a user-accessible directory.
- Certificate Errors During Offline Install
If you're installing offline, expired certificates can block the process [3].
Fix: Download and install the updated certificate: http://www.microsoft.com/pkiops/certs/Microsoft%20Windows%20Code%20Signing%20PCA%202024.crt
- Installer Update Workaround
If the installer itself is broken, use PowerShell to update it manually [4]:
Invoke-WebRequest "https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vscommunity.exe" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\vsinstaller.exe"
Start-Process "$env:TEMP\vs_installer.exe" -ArgumentList "--update", "--quiet", "--wait" -Wait
System Requirements
Visual Studio 2022 supports:
- Windows 10 (64-bit): Home, Pro, Education, Enterprise
- Minimum RAM: 4 GB (8 GB recommended)
- Disk Space: 20–50 GB depending on workloads
- .NET Framework: 4.8 or higher recommended [5]
Full requirements: Visual Studio 2022 System Requirements [5]
Next Steps
- Install .NET Framework 4.8 manually.
- Run Visual Studio Installer as Administrator.
- Avoid restricted folders like
WindowsApps
for cache paths. - Use the PowerShell script above to update the installer.
- Check logs in
%TEMP%\dd_installer.log
for specific errors.
Let me know if the issue persists after following these steps. I’ll be happy to assist further if needed. If the issue has been resolved, kindly mark the response as answered.
