Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 fails to install with the below error message:

  Thank you! Finding this just made my day! Just installed Visual Studio 2013 Pro and was having issues installing packages through TOOLS-> Extensions and Updates. The error message I was receiving was "Input string was not in a correct format" with a near identical VSIXInstaller log as above. Uninstalling RSLogix Studio 5000 fixed it. Rockwell strikes again!!
