They are the root certs needed to verify the setup application (the stuff installed under ProgramFiles\Visual Studio\2017\Installer) and the catalog (a json file that lists of all the VS components that could be installed by setup). exe." Sometimes you'll end up with a file like vs_community_ and you'll want to rename it to vs_community.exe for offline to work.īefore you run the installer, you'll want to install the root certificates in the \certificates folder. IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that your file is named "vs_. Only those components that have been updated since the last time -layout was run will be downloaded. As updates become available for Visual Studio 2017 (RC or otherwise), you can run the -layout command again, pointing to the same layout folder, to ensure that the folder contains the latest components. One nice aspect of this system is that you can update a "layout" in place. When it's all done you'll end up with a folder like this that you can copy to a DVD or USB key. If you have trouble or nothing happens, check the dd_bootstrapper*.log file in %TEMP%. If you want everything then it'll take a while, so hang back. It will go and download everything you need.

They can't package up the Android Installer from Google, for example, into an ISO. However, they haven't got an ISO available for downloading for legal reasons. Visual Studio generally - and Visual Studio 2017 specifically - has an online installer and if you lose connectivity during the installation you can run into problems. There's not just bandwidth issues but also issues of latency and reliability. Depending on how far out of town you get the quality of internet varies. While I was there I was reminded (as one is when one travels) how spoiled many of us with being always connected. I also got to hang out with my wife's family a bunch. I just got back from Kenya and South Africa and had a great time speaking at NexTech Africa and the Microsoft Tech Summit in Johannesburg. ![]()
