title: Visual Studio 2015 enterprise crashes on startup, uninstall and repair
body: <p>How can I fix Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition to install and work correctly?</p>
  
  <p>During the installation, it had an issue installing Java SE. It was optional so I didn't think anything of it. I restarted my computer. Now whenever I try to open Visual Studio 2015, reinstall or uninstall, I see the logo briefly then it disappears. </p>
  
  <p>I dug into the event viewer to find a message from Windows Error Reporting that points to a log in the following folder.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>C:\users\{me}\AppData\Local\Temp\dd_vs_enterprise_20150720190843</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>It seems as though it's having difficulty creating the view. I have copied a portion of the log below.</p>
