Is an ISO for offline update available at all? Microsoft surely makes it hard to find.

  There appears to be one available on the MSDN downloads page at least.

    Thanks, but I don't have MSDN :(.

      Oh... you silly peasants... Then again... I only have an MSDN subscription because my previous job STILL hasn't removed me from their lists. Not that I expect them to with the clowns they replaced my previous company with. Very nice perk to still have.

        I've always wondered what the subscription 'perks' were? All the docs are online, and there are a ton of tuts ... what am I missing?

          free keys for nearly every MS product
          • Someone1234 11y ago
            Free = $2,999 per year...
            • vetinari 11y ago
              That's why we have Action Pack, which is 360 EUR/year. Supposedly it should contain Visual Studio too, but I cannot see the isos on the download page. R Studio for Redhat and SuSE, on the other hand... ;)

          * "Free" keys * ISO's * Azure allowance per month * Pluralsight videos (not all, 45 hours worth) * Microsoft E-Learning * MSDN Magazine Other odds and ends...

        Scoop up those ISOs while you still can! This happened to me too, but they'll get to yours eventually.

          And even more importantly, claim your product keys! And then download those puppies with the Export to XML option in the My Product Keys page. Note that you can only claim a limited number of keys per day. So don't get carried away claiming all five keys on one product, then all five on the next, etc. You will soon hit your daily limit. Spread your claims out among the products you think you might need until you run out, and then come back the next day to claim more.

  You can reach it at https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studi... Use the menu on the left of the page and select ISO.

    Oh, great, they updated the installation isos, thanks.
• mmebane 11y ago
  They released an ISO for Update 1, so chances are there will be one for Update 2. In the meantime, you can download the online installer [1] and run vs2015.2.exe /Layout to launch the downloader, which should create a folder which contains everything that you would find on the update ISO. (EDIT: This seems to result in a 4.53 GiB download, so definitely smaller than the 6.95 GiB full install ISO.)
