Answer 1

The problem can occur for many reasons, you can try out the following options for the resolution of problem.

Option 1 - The problem could be with the iso file, which you are using to install Visual studio. Get this tool to verify your iso file by following the steps described here . In that case get an different image for install visual studio using web installer .

Option 2 - There might be some problem that prevent you from installing some updates or programs. Perform steps as listed here or even better, download the " Fix it Package " executable provided in the same link, and run it.

Option 3 - You can also try running the setup from the location, from where web installer runs it which is by default - *C:\\Users(Your username)\\Documents\\Microsoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2013*

Option 4 - Update your windows, and try reinstalling Visual Studio.

Also please refer to the following forum post - https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/24bdde43-89df-496e-bbb4-089141bd57c6/setup-failed-visual-studio-code-features-enu-the-digital-signature-of-the-object-did-not-verify?forum=vssetup

Answer 2

Please clarify your VS 2013 version.

Did you use ISO file to install visual studio 2013?

If it is, have you verify the ISO file. Base on the error message, I suggest you first verify the ISO file.

you use this tool http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290 to verify hash of the ISO. The point of the exercise is to generate a hash value (SHA1) from the ISO file so that it can be checked against the known value for that file. Any discrepancy would indicate that the file was corrupted.

The SHA1 value could be found at the download webpage.

If the installation still fails after verifying the ISO file and it is good, please use http://aka.ms/vscollect to gather the latest installation logs. After using it, you will find vslogs.cab from %temp% folder.

Best Regards.
