PHP Tools fails to install with Visual Studio Community 2017

Hello,

I just installed Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017, Version 4.7.02556, rebooted, and then tried to install phptools.1.27.10707.msi but it fails with this alert window message:

[PHP Tools for Visual Studio] /!\ This add-in requires Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013 or 2015 to be installed. Express edition is not supported.

Screenshot: https://www.screencast.com/t/oME5uG54VWW

Note: Both of these were downloaded from their respective sites today 2018-03-29. So it *SEEMS* that the PHP Tools is way out of date since the alert message mentions version 2015 and "Express," and today it is 2018 and the version is "Community."

How can I use PHP Tools with Visual Studio Community 2017?

Thank you,

Chris

Hi Everybody!

This fails to me too. I'm using VS 2017 Community and I already tried with the installer for VS2017.

Let us know how to solve this! :roll:

Hi,

Could you please send us whole log from VSIX installer?

You will find it on the last screen after the vsix installation is finished (sucessfully or not)

Thank you,

My install fails, too. The log said it had a problem uninstalling NuGet.

Hello,

That one is strange. Nuget is not related to PHP Tools, so I guess there might be something screwed up with VS itself here. I found some people had the same issue without relation to PHP Tools, but I haven't found some useful solution.

There is a log file for particularly nuget, so you can take a look if there isn't something obvious there
Code: Select all
C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_setup_20180424130553_001_Microsoft.VisualStudio.NuGet.Core.log


Thanks,
