Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools (15.8.0 – 15.8.6)

At the request of the workers, Microsoft broke down with the installer of the build tools itself.

Unlike a full studio, this installer does not have to install VS IDE Core and, accordingly, through BuildTools you will not install a visual development environment. Through this, an attempt is made to reduce the weight of the installer and reduce the size and impact on Windows. BuildTools does not provide any additional features (i.e., it is of the type "toolchain from small-sized ones" … it would seem to me that this modification should be called so that everything would be clear at once … but apparently the desire to be unique and inimitable prevents them from quietly using available terms).

Installation:
• Disconnect from the Internet … so that the installer does not download the list of installed components for the most recent version … the one that may not yet exist in the distribution. If this happens, the installer may not have enough of what is in the distribution and errors with downloading may appear
• Start the installation of certificates using the Certificates_Setup_v1.cmd or Certificates_Setup_v2.cmd command from the ADMINISTRATOR
• Then run Setup_BuildTools .cmd, where X specifies the version number you want to install (i.e. 15.8.X)
If you try to install languages ??other than English (if specialists do not control it, then this is exactly the situation), then you will most likely not be able to upgrade without the Internet (and you can reinstall it). Those. either without Russian, either we demolish and re-install the required version 15.8.x or to install you will need an Internet connection. Glory to the completeness of testing the offline installer is lightweight!
It seems the installer bug badly spoils the offline installer! If Russian is important to you and you have a problem, write pliz with a small buggy bugreport!
