Tooling: DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.2 installation issue

[EmraanSiddiqui]

Steps to reproduce

try installing DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.2.exe after downloading from https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c94a02e9-f2e9-4bad-a952-a63a967e3935
and disconnect internet in between(my internet disconnected due to power cut problem).

Expected behavior

When i tried after internet is back i got this screen

usually it should repair this or if i try to uninstall it should uninstall it.

Actual behavior

But when i try to repair it it gives me this error

and when i click on ok it shows this screen

log file:
dd_DotNetCoreTools__20160923081633.txt

and if i try to uninstall it from the same screen it just shows a loader for half second and nothing else get done.
If i try to uninstall it from control panel

it just uninstalling SDK not the previewing tool.

Environment data

dotnet --info output:

I can't uninstall it because I no longer have the exe.

The only one I can find is DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.3

It opens a dialog asking for the 2.0.2 exe and fails. So annoying.

I have uninstall vs2015 and reinstall vs2017, but how to uninstall DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.2, Not wanting to reinstall Visual Studio 2015 to uninstall the core tools, any solution?

[bhrgunatha]

I found a link to download 2.0.2.
After I downloaded 2.0.2 I was able to uninstall it.

Please Microsoft, if you are going to require the original media before it is released, at least keep links to previous versions alongside the current version. Or somewhere else easily located.

Thank you so much @bhrgunatha , that solved it for me too - had the same issue.

And the link for 2.0.2 is here:

Pay attention on the "Processing: XXXXXXXXX" area, in my case was on the WebToolsExtension where the unistall process block and the error appears.

Is necessary to uninstall that program manually. Search that program in "C:\ProgramData\Package Cache" folder, and then right click and unistall.

In my case: WebToolsExtensions
