Introduction

With Visual studio 2017 installation, Microsoft has changed the installation process by having new installation user experience which was designed to have

  1. Reduce the minimum footprint of Visual Studio
  2. Install/uninstall more quickly with less system impact
  3. Easier to select/un-select the features you want to install
