Visual Studio for Mac installer crashes

There are some reports of VS for Mac crashing during install. I got to experience this first hand this weekend. The solution for me was to fire up the terminal and run the installer using sudo.

Step 1


Given that you have the installer image mounted and a terminal running.
Navigate to /volumes/Install Visual Studio for Mac.app/contents/MacOS

Step 2


Run "sudo ./Install_Visual_Studio"
