any help?

Found this as a possible solution: (beware, changing your registry hold risks)

This problem occurs when the “FIPS-compliant algorithms” policy is enabled on a system. For more details: https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/kb/811833

Here, fipsalgorithmpolicy registry subkey was set to 1 (Enabled).

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy]
“Enabled”=dword:00000001

I disabled FIPS setting “Enabled” DWORD value to Zero.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FipsAlgorithmPolicy]
“Enabled”=dword:00000000

Then the problem was resolved. I was able to create projects in Visual Studio 2015 IDE.

You'll probably end up needing to update .NET Framework and then get C++ Redistribute 2015 [x86] anyway,
I'd say get/update those and if it doesn't end up resolving the issue, try what Panini posted

.NET Framework 4.6.2 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... x?id=53344
C++ Redistributable 2015 https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/ms ... D.69403400

I'm getting the same error. FIPS is disabled, and both of those other files are up to date. Any other suggestions?
