Some weeks ago we published a rather comprehensive list of all Microsoft Visual Studio Build Numbers, Version IDs and Default Paths from VS6 to VS2017. For those who keep asking where they can download the ISO files of the older builds, we put together this far-from-complete list containing some of the most known official direct download links for the offline installers and/or ISO files, together with service packs and support files.
IMPORTANT: Let’s make it clear, this is not warez or pirate software: what we’re giving here is merely a list of links to some official Microsoft distributions offline installers public links collected from Google, StackOverflow and some MS support sites & forums.
If you want to add a new direct download link or make us aware of a broken one, write it on a comment and we’ll act accordingly adding or deleting the respective URL. It’s worth noting than we will only accept official links from any certified Microsoft-owned website.
Visual Studio 2017
As of today there are no offline installers for VS2017 yet, hence we’ll put the Web Installer link here hoping that it will be enough for you.

VisualStudio 2017 Enterprise
Fill the installation folder without a connection
I am trying to get a Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition offline distribution by executing
vs_Community.exe --layout f:vs2017c as offered in the documentation (vs_Community.exe downloaded here, or by direct link) but this doesn't work. All I get are 2 files: f:vs2017cvs_installer.version.json and f:vs2017ccertificatesvs_installer_opc.SignCertificates.p12 . I have also tried /layout instead of --layout with no luck. What am I doing wrong? By the way, are there ISO files available perhaps?
UPDATE: I have installed the certificate, restarted the computer and re-tried running the installer a number of times. Nothing has really changed. A couple of times I could notice something written in red appearing in the console for less than half a second. Finally I have ran CCleaner (with full CCEnhancer custom to-clean list) to clean up everything (again! I have already done this before the first try) and tried again and now it is downloading..
UPDATE2:
I thought I have succeede but I was wrong. What I have done was a bat file of the following contents:
As the result of running this command the installer has tried to download all the components (including those I did not select) in all the languages (I only need en-us).
I have noticed it is downloading what I don't need, terminated the process and deleted everything for a fresh start. Next time I have only individual workloads instead of listing all the individual components. I have even tried simplifying it to just one workload like
but this just doesn't work. Instead, the following pops up for half a second as the 'Give us a minute. We'll be done soon..' progress bar finishes:
UPDATE3:
I have found out that putting the backslash at the end of the layout path beraks the stuff. I.e.
vs_Community.exe --layout f:vs2017c works but vs_Community.exe --layout f:vs2017c does not. This is not the only problem, however - listing a number of workloads tohether with ;includeRecommended;includeOptional after vs_Community.exe --layout f:vs2017c breaks it too (although it worked as I've tried it with just one workload and one extra component AND (an important condition) purged the temporary files)..
UPDATE4:
I have managed to grab the
f:vs2017cq.2horesourcesapplayoutSetup.exe you can see in the window title on the screenshot (which is a little bit tricky as it appears for just some seconds and gets automatically deleted shortly after) but its help output is very different from the one above. It seems that it chain-launched some other exe in the previous case. Its own output is below, no obvious way to specify individual workloads/components:
Finally I have given up trying to choose individual components and workloads and tried the following with no luck either:
vs_Community.exe --lang en-en --layout f:vs2017c --all --includeRecommended --includeOptional .
At the end I have ended up using just
vs_Community.exe --lang en-en --layout f:vs2017c --all - it works and only downloads the language I need, though includes a number of components I don't need actually. The resulting directory size is 18 gigabytes.
I've finished downloading and dot it installed already as by now but the question about how to actually use the layout feature parameters reliably the way they are meant to remains.

Never thought MS could distribute this way, I understand that people downloading Visual Studio should have advanced knowledge of computers and OS but this is like a jump in time to 30 years back.

I have used the exact steps from here and it worked flawlessly : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/install-vs-inconsistent-quality-network
In 3 simple steps:
Step 1 : Download the respective Visual Studio 2017 version from the download page (https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/)
Step 2: Open your command prompt as Administarator, point to where your Visual studio download exe is and execute the following command (this command is specifically for Web & Desktop development) :
Step 3 : Traverse to the path c:vs2017layout in your command prompt and then run the following command (this command is specifically for Web & Desktop development)

Just use the following for a 'minimal' C# installation:
This works for sure. The error in your first commandline was the trailing backslash. Without it it works. You don't have to download all.
You can add for example the following workloads (or a subset) to the commandline:
Sometimes the downloader seems to not like too much packages.But you can download the packages (add the other workloads) step-by-step, this works. Like you want.
The interesting thing. The installer afterwards will download (only) the packages you selected which you have NOT downloaded before, so it is quite smart (in this point).
(Of course there are more packages available).

The command above worked for me
C:UsersmarceloDownloadsvs_community.exe --lang en-en --layout C:VisualStudio2017 --all

It seems that so far you've just followed the first step of the instructions, headed 'Create an offline installation folder'. Have you done the second step? 'Install from the offline installation folder' - that is, install the certificates and then run vs_Community.exe from inside the folder.

Check your
%temp% folder after download. In my case, download went both in temp folder and one I specified. After download was completed, files from temp folder were not deleted.Also, make sure to have enough space on system partition (or wherever your %temp% is) in the first place. For community edition download is over 16GB for everything.

No, there should be an .exe file (vs_Community_xxxxx.exe) directly in you f:vs2017c directory !
Just start from the this directory, not from a longer path. the packages downloaded are partly having very long path names, it fails if you start from a longer path.

All I wanted were 1) English only and 2) just enough to build a legacy desktop project written in C. No Azure, no mobile development, no .NET, and no other components that I don't know what to do with.
I chose 'NativeDesktop' from 'workload and component ID' site (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-community).

The result was about 1.6GB downloaded files and 5GB when installed. I'm sure I could have removed a few unnecessary components to save space, but the list was rather long, so I stopped there.
'--includeRecommended' was the key ingredient for me, which included Windows SDK along with other essential things for building the legacy project.

You should goto the Layout folder and issue the following command:
Then it will auto pickup cache components bypass downloading.
