I am trying to install Visual Studio 2015 to my Windows 7. I seem to get stuck in this screen while installing it. It has been like 3 hours now and still stuck. Tried installing that update manually but had no luck since it just kept loading as well (Searching for updates).

Any ideas?

The same thing happened to me. Here is what I did in order to get it successfully installed. I downloaded KB2999226 update from Microsofts website here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49093

After installing this package, I started the installation process again. That worked for me.
