Trying to create an offline installer for myself but no luck
-
The instructions say to open a command prompt in the folder where you downloaded Visual Studio 2017 and at the prompt type vs_professional.exe --layout d:\vs2017 --lang en-US. But I've tried several variations on that at the prompt and all I get is "vs_professional.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command or batch file." I don't know what I'm doing wrong so I'm asking here. Please advise. Thanks

Where did you get your "version" from? I don't recognize it. Why don't you just do a "standard" install (after going to the download site)? Why are you mucking with the command prompt? Just click on the (proper) exe in Windows explorer. ("Offline" usually implies working with "ISO" files otherwise for a completely new install).

Means that there is no executable with that name in the current path. If you open a console, and you get a "C:\Windows>" prompt, then that is the current folder. That's where it will look for an executable with the name you entered. Try changing the directory to where the executable is located.
