+## .NET Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2 installer fails
+
+There was a recent change in the VC Redist installer which may lead to a failure during installation of .NET Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2. The workaround is to install the VC Redist before installing .NET Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2.
+
+First, install appropriate VC_Redist:
+
+- [vc_redist.x86.exe](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615459)
+- [vc_redist.x64.exe](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615460)
+
+Then install [.NET Core 1.0.1 - VS 2015 Tooling Preview 2](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=827524)
