Come on Microsoft, you can do better!

Or maybe not... So I downloaded VS 2015 Community Edition to replace my preview version with... A file in the ISO - apparently - was damaged (only on, so it may be a problem of the packaging...), so when the installer got there it asked me three choices... 1. Skip - not an option, as it may result in a not-working product... 2. Look for the file at another location on my computer - I have no... 3. Download the package from the internet - the only possible solution... So what's the problem, you ask? Beyond this point, the installer will download EVERY package from the internet, regardless it defected or not... I wonder who wrote that, who tested that and who approved that? For sure it was a combined effort of carelessness...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Never download the ISO, there come many problems with it. I have always tried downloading the online installer. Suits me, I can chose which one to download. Hey, as a tip: You can choose Custom and select the items you want to install and ignore you don't want or are not going to work with. :) Maybe a good hand for the bandwidth, I'd say.

I can't see a reason why not to use ISO - I do it for years, and the reason, that I have to install several machines and the multiple download is just a waste of time...

Perhaps you should. ISOs are offline, better in speed because you don't have to wait for the network latency. But my point was that you always get the fresh copy of product, ISOs may give you enormous notifications for update once you have finished installing the product. :)

I always download the ISO, and compare the SHA1 hash to the SHA1 hash provided by Microsoft. This allows me to install it as many times as necessary. I use VMs for a lot of my projects, and having the ISOs on hand can be a great time saver when setting up a new image.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Didn't you know about quality of "cheap hindu coders"? :))) Viola! Now A WHOLE MICROSOFT is a hindu gang who hides behind famous company! Leave of Gates and Ballmer is not a "pity retire event", IT'S THE END of IT giant and hell knows how long MS will stay under Nadella management - doubt it will be long. Win10 is again a big fail - after failed 8 and 8.1; So "desktop" division loose more and more. Even paid "Solitaire" won't help their agony. :)
