Why Visual Studio For Mac Taking Long To Finish Install

Active3 years, 11 months ago

I tried to install the new Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition but unfortunately without success because the installation gets stuck on creating a system restore point.

What I did to solve the problem:

Since we released Visual Studio 2015 on July 20 th we’ve been busily answering questions on our forums, here on the blog, on Connect, and on StackOverflow. Here are some of the common questions. In VS 2015 you can chose to configure your setup to only install the tools you want, which makes the.

I had the same problem during installation VS2015 on Windows 10.

I solved the problem by killing the svchost.exe process that blocked the installation:

Why visual studio for mac taking long to finish_installation java
  1. Go to the Task Manager details tab
  2. Find vs_community.exe
  3. Open the Analyze wait chain,
  4. Check svchost.exe and kill it.

It will stop creating the system restore point, but will resume the installation.

Try to disable any antivirus running on your machine. It worked for me.

The current version of AVG Free antivirus is incompatible with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.

  1. It does not allow Visual Studio to be installed on the computer. It gets stuck at 'Creating restore point'. Visual Studio installs perfectly when AVG is turned off.

  2. Any code compiled in 'Release' mode targeting x86 platform/environment (in project properties) does not compile. It compiles successfully when AVG is turned off.

I posted the issues in AVG support forum but no one responded.

I had same problem.
I'm using 2 Anti-Viruses AVG Internet Security, Avast Internet Security.
I tried to stop AVG Firewall and stop Avast until shutdown.
And It worked. Installation success

For Windows 8 the above is almost right. Analyze chain yielded no svchost.exe. However, if you're only running the installer just look for the svchost.exe that is the biggest memory hog, cross your fingers, kill it.

What is the difference between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio IDE?

Visual Studio Code is a streamlined code editor with support for development operations like debugging, task running, and version control. It aims to provide just the tools a developer needs for a quick code-build-debug cycle and leaves more complex workflows to fuller featured IDEs, such as Visual Studio IDE.

Which OSs are supported?

VS Code runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows. See the Requirements documentation for the supported versions. You can find more platform specific details in the Setup overview.

Is VS Code free?

Yes, VS Code is free for private or commercial use. See the product license for details.

How to disable telemetry reporting

VS Code collects usage data and sends it to Microsoft to help improve our products and services. Read our privacy statement and telemetry documentation to learn more.

If you don't wish to send usage data to Microsoft, you can set the telemetry.enableTelemetry user setting to false.

From File > Preferences > Settings (macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), search for telemetry, and uncheck the Telemetry: Enable Telemetry setting. This will silence all telemetry events from VS Code going forward.

Important Notice: VS Code gives you the option to install Microsoft and third party extensions. These extensions may be collecting their own usage data and are not controlled by the telemetry.enableTelemetry setting. Consult the specific extension's documentation to learn about its telemetry reporting.

I often found that objects such as furniture or lighting fixtures would initially be placed at locations that I did not intend, such as a lighting fixture showing up on my floor. So there is a fair amount of correction that you’ll need to do as you add more details to your model. Punch home design studio for mac. This is a great feature, and while the library that comes with Home Design Studio is already extensive, I encourage Punch Software to add more real-world manufacturers and products into future versions. Some quirks Once you get over how fun it is to play with Home Design Studio, you will likely run into a few frustrations.

How to disable crash reporting

VS Code collects data about any crashes that occur and sends it to Microsoft to help improve our products and services. Read our privacy statement and telemetry documentation to learn more.

If you don't wish to send crash data to Microsoft, you can set the telemetry.enableCrashReporter user setting to false.

From File > Preferences > Settings (macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), search for crash, and uncheck the Telemetry: Enable Crash Reporter setting.

Important Notice: This option requires a restart of VS Code to take effect.

GDPR and VS Code

Now that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is in effect, we want to take this opportunity to reiterate that we take privacy very seriously. That's both for Microsoft as a company and specifically within the VS Code team.

To support GDPR:

  • The VS Code product notifies all users that they can opt out of telemetry collection.
  • The team actively reviews and classifies all telemetry sent (documented in our OSS codebase).
  • There are valid data retention policies in place for any data collected, for example crash dumps.

You can learn more about VS Code's GDPR compliance in the telemetry documentation.

What online services does VS Code use?

Beyond crash reporting and telemetry, VS Code uses online services for various other purposes such as downloading product updates, finding, installing, and updating extensions, or providing Natural Language Search within the Settings editor. You can learn more in Managing online services.

Visual studio for mac turn off xml comment warning. The xml doc is very important to us. So if we disable warnings about missing documentation, we will never catch this problem in our code files, If we enable it, we will have 100s of warnings that will mask the 'important' ones, and people will get used to ignoring warnings. We ensure we don't have any warnings in our code, because these could be potential issues, or code that we simply forgot to document. When the build completes, any warnings and errors are reported to the developer team, and anyone who introduced an error or warning is responsible for fixing it (nevermind the fact that these days we now have gated check ins to prevent this, but that only makes it worse since the checkin would get rejected).

You can choose to turn on/off features that use these services. From File > Preferences > Settings (macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), and type the tag @tag:usesOnlineServices. This will display all settings that control the usage of online services and you can individually switch them on or off.

How do I opt out of VS Code auto-updates?

By default, VS Code is set up to auto-update for macOS and Windows users when we release new updates. If you do not want to get automatic updates, you can set the Update: Mode setting from default to none.

Why Visual Studio For Mac Taking Long To Finish Installed

To modify the update mode, go to File > Preferences > Settings (macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), search for update mode and change the setting to none.

If you use the JSON editor for your settings, add the following line:

You can install a previous release of VS Code by uninstalling your current version and then installing the download provided at the top of a specific release notes page.

Note: On Linux: If the VS Code repository was installed correctly then your system package manager should handle auto-updating in the same way as other packages on the system. See Installing VS Code on Linux.

Why does Visual Studio Code have a different license than the vscode GitHub repository?

To learn why Visual Studio Code, the product, has a different license than the open-source vscode GitHub repository, see issue #60 for a detailed explanation.

What is the difference between the vscode repository and the Microsoft Visual Studio Code distribution?

Mac

The github.com/microsoft/vscode repository (Code - OSS) is where we develop the Visual Studio Code product. Not only do we write code and work on issues there, we also publish our roadmap and monthly iteration and endgame plans. The source code is available to everyone under a standard MIT license.

Visual Studio Code is a distribution of the Code - OSS repository with Microsoft specific customizations (including source code), released under a traditional Microsoft product license.

Nov 16, 2016  At this morning’s Connect(); 2016 keynote, Nat Friedman and James Montemagno introduced Visual Studio for Mac, the newest member of the Visual Studio family.Visual Studio for Mac is a developer environment optimized for building mobile and cloud apps with Xamarin and.NET.It is a one-stop shop for.NET development on the Mac, including Android, iOS, and.NET Core technologies. https://hannin.netlify.app/visual-studio-for-mac-looks-different.html.

What does 'Built on Open Source' mean?

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is a Microsoft licensed distribution of 'Code - OSS' that includes Microsoft proprietary assets (such as icons) and features (Visual Studio Marketplace integration, small aspects of enabling Remote Development). While these additions make up a very small percentage of the overall distribution code base, it is more accurate to say that Visual Studio Code is 'built' on open source, rather than 'is' open source, because of these differences. More information on what each distribution includes can be found in the Visual Studio Code and 'Code - OSS' Differences article.

Are all VS Code extensions open source?

Extension authors are free to choose a license that fits their business needs. While many extension authors have opted to release their source code under an open-source license, some extensions like Wallaby.js, Google Cloud Code, and the VS Code Remote Development extensions use proprietary licenses.

At Microsoft, we open source our extensions whenever possible. However, reliance on existing proprietary source code or libraries, source code that crosses into Microsoft licensed tools or services (for example Visual Studio), and business model differences across the entirety of Microsoft will result in some extensions using a proprietary license. You can find a list of Microsoft contributed Visual Studio Code extensions and their licenses in the Microsoft Extension Licenses article.

Prerelease versions

Want an early peek at new VS Code features? You can try prerelease versions of VS Code by installing the 'Insiders' build. The Insiders build installs side by side to your stable VS Code install and has isolated settings, configurations and extensions. The Insiders build is updated nightly so you'll get the latest bug fixes and feature updates from the day before.

To install the Insiders build, go to the Insiders download page.

Can I run a portable version of VS Code?

Yes, VS Code has a Portable Mode which lets you keep settings and data in the same location as your installation, for example, on a USB drive.

Report an issue with a VS Code extension

For bugs, feature requests or to contact an extension author, you should use the links available in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace or use Help: Report Issue from the Command Palette. However, if there is an issue where an extension does not follow our code of conduct, for example it includes profanity, pornography or presents a risk to the user, then we have an email alias to report the issue. Once the mail is received, our Marketplace team will look into an appropriate course of action, up to and including unpublishing the extension.

How do I find the version?

You can find the VS Code version information in the About dialog box.

On macOS, go to Code > About Visual Studio Code.

On Windows and Linux, go to Help > About.

The VS Code version is the first Version number listed and has the version format 'major.minor.release', for example '1.27.0'.

VS Code gets unresponsive right after opening a folder

When you open a folder, VS Code will search for typical project files to offer you additional tooling (e.g. the solution picker in the status bar to open a solution). If you open a folder with lots of files, the search can take a large amount of time and CPU resources during which VS Code might be slow to respond. We plan to improve this in the future but for now you can exclude folders from the explorer via the files.exclude setting and they will not be searched for project files:

VS Code is blank?

The Electron shell used by Visual Studio Code has trouble with some GPU (graphics processing unit) hardware acceleration. If VS Code is displaying a blank (empty) main window, you can try disabling GPU acceleration when launching VS Code by adding the Electron --disable-gpu command-line switch.

Blurriness on macOS Mojave

If you have updated to macOS 10.14 (Mojave), you might have noticed that fonts in VS Code look blurry if you are not using a high-DPI monitor.

A workaround for this is to run:

from a terminal followed by restarting your computer.

Note that this change is global for every application and not specific to VS Code. See issue #51132 for the related discussion.

Installation appears to be corrupt [Unsupported]

VS Code does a background check to detect if the installation has been changed on disk and if so, you will see the text '[Unsupported]' in the title bar. This is done since some extensions directly modify (patch) the VS Code product in such a way that is semi-permanent (until the next update) and this can cause hard to reproduce issues. We are not trying to block VS Code patching, but we want to raise awareness that patching VS Code means you are running an unsupported version. Reinstalling VS Code will replace the modified files and silence the warning.
