[TheRealPiotrP]

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.

Ran into the same issue yesterday with DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.3. Is there a way to recover from this (other than reinstalling VS2015 or paving the machine)?

@joergjo I found a way to walk around just now.
I used this tool to remove all DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.* items and install this tool. It magically work. 🎉
Willing this could help. 😉

[joergjo]

I was able to fix it using RegEdit. Search for DotNetCore.1.0.1-VS2015Tools.Preview2.0.3.exe and nuke the key one under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\. Then run the installer again.

Emm, I used uninstall tool to do the same things 😊

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?

Other than OS hygiene, I don't think you have to uninstall the 2015 Tools. You can also try to delete the registry key mentioned above if it bothers you.
