Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 repair error

I'm attempting to repair VS2015 with Update 1 installation due to the following error when loading projects:

  • Project 'projectName' could not be opened because the Visual C# 2015 compiler could not be created. Please re-install Visual Studio.
  • .cs files are loaded as white plain text
  • "An error occurred loading this property page" error occurs when opening some of the C# Text Editor options.

However the repair fails with the following error:

You might have to bite the bullet and just reinstall vs. I know it sucks, it takes all day to install. – Daniel Hakimi
Just did a quick google actually and found this: stackoverflow.com/questions/30493302/… – Daniel Hakimi
Thanks for the link, I tried the solution however the result from the command was: No assemblies found matching: Microsoft.VisualStudio.CSharp.Services.Language.Interop – user3167162
Ok, I'm attempting to uninstall then reinstall it now – user3167162
I have encountered problems with my antivirus application active during installation. You might wanna disable it. – joko

Thanks to @Daniel Hakimi and @scofield_foxriver for your input.

After uninstalling VS2015 Enterprise and its related components, restarting and Re-installing it's working now.
