Visual Studio 2017 Update 15.9 contains ability to export and import installation settings

Today's post is about Visual Studio. In the latest Read Me file, Microsoft says:

Install: We made it easier to keep your installation settings consistent across multiple installations of Visual Studio. You can now use the Visual Studio Installer to export a .vsconfig file for a given instance of Visual Studio. This file will contain information about what workloads and components you have installed. You can then import this file to add these workload and component selections to another installation of Visual Studio.

This is one great step forward in installation automation. Think DevOps!
