Visual Studio 2017 installation tip: remember to check the Individual Components tab

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

As you might have noticed, Visual Studio 2017 has a completely new installer. The installation is now more modular, allowing you to select exactly what you want to install for that lean-and-clean installation.

However, there's a catch: the new "Individual Components" tab does not select all options even if you select all payloads. For example, web development related testing tools are not installed by default.

So, the tip for today is: remember to check the "Individual Components" tab, too!
