I had similar issue today installing VS2017 on a machine. It hung the machine (only thing that was working was my mouse pointer and Spotify playing some music). Had to hold power button to power cycle it. Even Control-Alt-Delete didn't bring up the usual screen.
Uninstalled and trying again. ________________________________ From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> on behalf of Greg Keogh <gfke...@gmail.com> Sent: Saturday, 11 November 2017 12:34:23 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: Sorry, something went wrong No replies, so just FYI ... I kept trying various daring tricks to repair Visual Studio 2017, but failed on all counts. I eventually gave-up and uninstalled (which produced the same Sorry error!), then reinstalled, then added Sandcastle, Installer support and other add-ons. This VM is a bit sluggish, so the whole process took a tedious 3 hours. This is a very severe problem and I live in fear of it happening again, especially on my main work PC -- GK On 11 November 2017 at 11:24, Greg Keogh <gfke...@gmail.com<mailto:gfke...@gmail.com>> wrote: Folks, a regular update of VS2017 failed with "Sorry, something went wrong". I can't find any logs or the vaguest clue about what's wrong. I've been searching the web for an hour and I can find no sensible suggestions on how to fix this, other than a complete reinstall. I tried a few stupid suggestions anyway, but they do nothing. I am livid with f***ing anger that a popular product from a major company would produce such an utterly stupid patronising and unhelpful error message and enter a crippled state. I'm extra angry because there are no obvious fixes documented anywhere. I've now wasted 2 futile hours trying to fix this. Has anyone been through this and know what to do?
