I think this will be enough to build an offline installer for a standard developer No mobile stuff (xamarin, android), no gaming, no unity, no Universal Platform, no Azure. Just C#, VisualBasic, ASP, C++, Linux Cross building. Order: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.CoreEditor Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop --recommended -- optional Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb --recommended -- optional Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop --recommended -- optional Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeCrossPlat Downloading first 3 ---> 1.86GB Adding the Native Desktop and CrossPlat (C++) ---> adds 4GB Command line: Code: * C#, Visual Basic vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "E:\Visual Studio 2017.1\enterprise" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.CoreEditor;includeOptional;includeRecommended vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "E:\Visual Studio 2017.1\enterprise" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop;includeOptional;includeRecommended * ASP, Web Development vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "E:\Visual Studio 2017.1\enterprise" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb;includeOptional;includeRecommended * C++ and linux cross C++ vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "E:\Visual Studio 2017.1\enterprise" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop;includeOptional;includeRecommended vs_Enterprise.exe --layout "E:\Visual Studio 2017.1\enterprise" --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeCrossPlat;includeOptional;includeRecommended To update the software you must run the same commands. Installing from the offline installation folder Run your offline installation now or later; the choice is yours to make. But when you do, follow these steps. 1.Install the certificates (They are in the Certificates folder, which is in your Layout folder. Simply right-click each one to install it.) 2.Run the installation file. For example, run: c:\vs2017offline\vs_enterprise.exe (The file inside the downloaded folder)
I think we have discovered the real reason M$ did not want to release some 25gb ISO's if they are going to change this frequently lol
I just had this error of not being able to run the installer. Gave me headache for a few days for why I could not run it or update the existing installation. Using procdump I was able to determine that somehow the MSI Afterburner OSD interferes with the installer and causes crashes of the installer. Closing Afterburner solved this.
After I was released VS 2017 so far only approximately 5 updates made, it seems every month dozens will be expected... Fix, fix, fix
This is why I never bothered with any development/maintenance of any software and stuck with OS/Software installation/update/upgrade. On mainframe, you even had access to source code. Probably explains why many mainframers went to Linux. Disclaimer - I have dabbled in VS, but avoided dotNET part.

Too lazy to use google ? or by Alexa Voice Service and ask Alexa by this way you can really fill any thread here (make it unreadable)
