Visual Studio Community 2015 Setup Blocked

        之前安装Unity的时候一块安装了Visual Studio Community2015，一直没用过，上次需要用C++编写程序，才发现VS2015为了推C#，默认是不安装VC++的，只好进入New Project->Visual C++里面安装，安装方式如下：

        结果update界面的界面在configuring feed后出现Setup Blocked，详细内容为：Invalid entries passed to /FilterFeatureSelectionTree and /InstallSelectableItems switch，后续多次重启尝试也会出错。

        因为配置CUDA必须需要VC++编译器，多次尝试不行只好打算卸载重装，结果在程序卸载界面依然Setup Blocked，无法下载，只好尝试多种方法解决。

        在失败界面，Microsoft提供了两种解决途径：

1、Common issues and workarounds 

        在网页里找到Common issues in Visual studio 2015 setup：https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3039361/common-issues-in-visual-studio-2015-setup，找到问题关键在于Feed.xml文件中，虽然不知道这个文件是做什么的，但是在update界面启动中都会configure这个文件，因此需要重置替换这个文件，官方解决方案如下：

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Invalid entries passed to /FilterFeatureSelectionTree and /InstallSelectableItems switch

When you install a Visual Studio 2015 update, and the setup fails or cancels out, and then you try to run the same Visual Studio 2015 Update installer again, you receive the following error messages:

Invalid entries passed to /FilterFeatureSelectionTree switch. For more details, please see the setup log. 
Invalid entries passed to /InstallSelectableItems switch. For more details, please see the setup log

This issue occurs when the initial failed or canceled setup did not persist the latest feed.xml. The next time the Visual Studio Update installer runs, it tries to use the outdated feed.xml that it detects from earlier Visual Studio install sessions.

To work around this issue, run the command that resembles the following:

VS2015.3.exe /overridefeeduri <Path to feed.xml>

The path of feed.xml can be a web link from the following table. Or, you can download files from the web link and save the feed.xml to your local disk, and then the "Path to feed.xml" will be your local path.

Note  The feed.xml is language specific. Therefore, please select the feed.xml that matches the language version of your Visual Studio. If you have multiple languages installed, please select the one that you used to install Visual Studio at first. 

For example, if you have CHS Visual Studio installed on the computer, then the command line to use would be as following:

VS2015.3.exe /overridefeeduri http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=564093&clcid=0x804

Or, if you download the feed.xml from  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=564093&clcid=0x804  to your local disk at d:\VisualStudio\feed.xml, then the command line to use would be as follows:

VS2015.3.exe /overridefeeduri d:\VisualStudio\feed.xml

但我在尝试此种方案后没有成功，因此自己手动查找feed.xml文件进行替换，结果仍未成功，只好查看查看Microsoft提供的第二种解决途径：Log File




2、Log File

进入 Log File，方式有两种，一、单击对话框中链接自动跳出本次log文件，二、手动找到Users/用户名/AppData/Local/Temp，Visual Studio Community 2015 log文件格式如下：




在里面出错的地方发现就是Configuring feed这一步出错，无法访问到feed.xml，我的log信息为：

[1518:1B44][2017-04-04T21:26:07]i000: MUX:  Configuring feed...

根据Log文件找到了应该替换掉的Feed.xml文件在C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudioSecondaryInstaller\14.0\LastUsedFeed路径下面，并且对比下载的uri地址为http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=659004&clcid=0x409。（对比官方给出的网址，我的就是English版本）

我进入了C:\Users\Suo_ivy\AppData\Local\Temp\preprocessor\路径中，发现并没有生成-576416314.xml，所以访问拒绝。

到此发现了整个调用的过程和解决方案：

Visual Studio 2015是读取Feed.xml文件，这是个已经写好的固定的文件，可从提供的链接中下载到，安装程序根据这个feed.xml生成自己机器的-576416314.xml文件，验证通过后才可以进一步操作。

所以通过链接下载Feed.xml替换掉LastUsedFeed文件夹中的xml，重新安装就可以啦。
