I'll move my solution here since my issue was closed

Quick-quick fix

Just run this cmd in the directory you downloaded the tooling

DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.exe SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1

@rogersachan Is that an official workaround?

[MaherJendoubi]

@atifaziz for me yes

@MaherJendoubi Am glad it works for you but that wasn't my question. :)

@atifaziz I haven't heard anything but it looks like this is a versioning issue (which I assume is easy to fix). This workaround is also on MS COnnect so I suppose so.

@rogersachan It's reported on MS Connect and several other places (see #655, #685 and aspnet/Home#1626) and yet you're right (thanks!) that only the MS Connect one points to it as a known issue with SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1 as a workaround:

Due to a known issue in the setup detection logic, even though you have Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 RC installed, you might see the following message when you run the installer. This will be fixed in the next build. For now, to work around this and bypass the check, you can run the EXE from a command prompt and then pass SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1 at the end.

However, that mentions the RC whereas the issue persists with the release version of VS 2015 Update 3 so I'm guessing this is one of those bugs they let slip as “has a workaround”? The .NET Core tooling is preview after all.

I got this error, I tired DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.exe SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1 too, but still got the error.

I have installed VS 2015 update 3 Enterprise edition, also DotNetCore.1.0.0-Runtime-x86 and DotNetCore.1.0.0-SDK.Preview2-x86

@MehdiDehghani Can you share the log file?

@rogersachan The error screenshot didn't get enough info?

Thanks!! Also, if you find the cmd (pointing the download file directory) a little time consuming/frustrating like I had ;). Just use (in cmd (2015VS)) 'cd..' until you find "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\YourPreferedRootFlie" and drag and drop your download.exe file in "C:\Program Files (x86)". And run "DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.exe SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1" script as mentioned. Then, BOOMM!!! Thanks again.

Nice, I moved DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.exe to C:\Program Files folder and run DotNetCore.1.0.0-VS2015Tools.Preview2.exe SKIP_VSU_CHECK=1, the tool was successfully installed.
Thanks @wr125

This issue should now be fixed as part of a cumulative update that we released. The VS 2015 Tooling installer on the main download page for .NET Core has also been updated to include this cumulative update, so new installs of the tooling will not require the SKIP_VSU_CHECK workaround anymore.
