I received the same error message on a fresh Windows install, with a fresh Visual Studio install. I believe the VS2015 install process automatically downloaded and applied Update 3 during the process. Chasing the logfile showed that for me, it is comparing the following version numbers and for some reason the ' Community ' Edition version mismatched.the following version numbers mismatched: [27b8:1MB,][2016-07-20t16:17:11]i000: Setting StringVariable' Vs2015updateversion 'To value' 14.0.25420 '[27b8:1BBC][2016-07-20t16:17:11]i000: Setting string variable Vs2015professionalupdateversion ' to value ' 14.0.25420 ' [1a60:0cd4][ 2016-07-20t16 :14:36 i000: setting string variable ' vs2015communityupdateversion ' ' 14.0.25424 ' Nobody in the history of the internet have ever used version 14.0.25424 , so I assumed it must be a typo. After changing the VS Community UpdateVersion string value from 14.0.25424 14.0.25420 to in the registry, the installer worked fine for me. The full registry keys to check include: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\DevDiv\vs\Servicing\14.0\communityHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\DevDiv\vs\Servicing\14.0\community\1033 Both should has the following string value: "UpdateVersion"="14.0.25420" Hope this helps.
