    VS2019 Upgrade to 16.6.0 major issue

    There is a major issue being experienced across the VS2019 community when updating VS2019 to the latest 16.6.0 version. See https://developercommunity.visualstu...omment-1041312 (and also https://developercommunity.visualstu...&q=WMIProvider for all the duplicate reported problems!).

    I had the issue myself, and for me Retry and Modify then a reboot seemed to fix it.

    Just a heads up that you might wish to delay updating to 16.6 until this issue is resolved.

    Your links don't appear to work. It looks like you copied the text of a contracted link instead of the URL.

    Whoops - fixed. It's always better to check it than chance it

    I installed 16.6 and did encounter that issue, but I just hit Retry and the installation continued and completed successfully.

    From Microsoft:

    We are working on a solution to this problem so that it won’t happen again, but this won’t help you if you are already experiencing it. This is a SxS issue where a computer has to have two different version of VS in order to see it. The solutions mentioned by those who retried or repaired are valid. As far as I know this is the only problem with the install so I expect VS be fully functional once the retry/repair completes successfully.

    We are testing a solution to this problem and intend to release it as soon as we complete internal testing.

    Apologies at the significant disruption this has caused.

    This issue is now supposedly fixed in release 16.6.1

    Even with 16.6.1, issues regarding the upgrade are still being reported.16.6.1 seems to work OK for some but not for others.

    I had no issue with 16.6.1 and I just successfully installed 16.6.2. Hopefully 16.6.2 address the issue for those who had problems with 16.6.1.

    Hopefully, but the issue isn't mentioned in the 16.6.2 release notes.
