How do I make an .iso for Visual Studio 2017?
-
I have downloaded the specific workload I want in Visual Studio 2017. But when the process was over and I looked on my drive there are not one but two folders present. One is called VS2017 (that's the one I named it on the command line) and the other one is called visualstudioprofessional2017. So why do I have two folders? And I want to make an .iso so when I put the DVD in my drive all I have to do is double-click the drive icon and the installation program will start? I have tried about five times now and I have made my autorun.inf file but when I double-click the drive icon the installation program does not start. All I see is the contents of the disk.

Forget Visual Studio 2017. It's a fuckin' mess.

Quote:
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. However, they haven't got an ISO available for downloading for legal reasons. They can't package up the Android Installer from Google, for example, into an ISO. The user needs to download certain things themselves dynamically.
