1) You will never get an ".iso" file officially from Microsoft for Visual Studio 2017 (Any edition).
Steps to create offline installer of VS2017:
2) Thus you remains with 2 options:
- Grab a web installer as Microsoft suggest and install whatever the components you need and double click on it.
- Follow the following steps to create an offline installer setup so that whenever you format you don't have to download it again or you can install it to another pc without an internet connection.
I downloaded Visual studio 2017 Community edition from here but this procedure will work for other editions too. It took me near about 13 hours and download size was ( 30.5 GB )
<<Download link for VS Community 2017 edition >> Link working as of 03-11-2017.
- Download visual studio setup exe file from the above link.
- Open Command Prompt
- Move to your downloaded directory where the exe file is
- And use the following command
vs_community_something.something.exe
This is name of your downloaded file
In my case it is -> vs_community__1972895516.1509628450.exe
It differs per download so don't worry about matching the exact digits :p
--layout dir_path
where dir_path is a location where your offline installer will present. By default, all languages will be downloaded. For me I only want english US for that
--lang en-US
you can use any language.
