title: Visual Studio Installation Error | Invalid Drive
body: <p>I know there's a ton of there install error posts but I have tried EVERYTHING from editing the registry to command line parameters, <strong>I cannot get VS Community to install</strong>. </p>
  
  <p>A couple of years ago I tried to install VS Community to my old E:\ drive. That drive corrupted and/or stopped working, so I got a new drive (F:) and am currently trying to install it. I would be fine with installing it on my C:\ if necessary. I'm running <code>Windows 10 Pro 64x</code>. </p>
  
  <p>I have also tried,</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Disabling all firewalls</li>
  <li>Re-downloading the installer</li>
  <li>Deleting the VS Folders from Local and Program Files</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Literally everything I've seen here and on other forums. Oddly, <em>the installer does not create log files in Temp either</em>, so I'm at a loss of stuff to show. </p>
  
  <p>And lastly, in apps, Visual Studio Community 2015 is listed with uninstall, however, when I go to uninstall, it also throws an error (no error code) saying:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Fatal Error while installing.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>And the exact install error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Invalid Drive</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>There's no error code but there is a grayed out box containing the drive path E:\</p>
  
  <p>Honestly, I'm about ready to explode, I've been trying to install this nonsense for the last year. I wish installers were still the simple Windows Installer Wizard style, but of course developers have to come around and mess that up. Ironic though, the purpose of having this software is to make a app...let alone deal with one.</p>
