How to install specific version of Visual Studio 2022 - Stack Overflow
Go to Microsoft's Visual Studio 2022 Release History page and scroll down to Fixed version bootstrappers. Choose any LTSC version you'd want to install. For example, in my case I wanted to get 17.10.17, then download "Professional" bootstrapper. More on stackoverflow.com

Here's the Microsoft page for Visual Studio 2022 download
All y'all are crazy, their downloads page has an 'older downloads' link: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/ edit - I'm the crazy one, because these links are defective. Microsoft has left us with a link trail eventually leading to doom. People have reported it, and Microsoft just covered their ears and spouted out some direct paths. Maybe someone from Product was standing behind them. What is this VisualStudio 2019 you speak of? I only know of our flagship VisualStudio 2026, now with Omega Copilot integration. More on reddit.com

What is the difference between Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code?
Visual Studio is a complete IDE out of the box: built-in support for project/solution management, GUI designers, integrated debugging & profiling, and tighter coupling with Microsoft tooling. Visual Studio Code is lighter, more modular, relies heavily on extensions, and tends to have faster startup and less UI clutter. For front-end web, scripting, or mixed small tasks many prefer VS Code, but for heavier desktop apps and .NET UI work, Visual Studio usually wins.

What's the difference between Visual Studio 32-bit and 64-bit versions?
Starting with VS 2022, the IDE itself is 64-bit, which means it can use more memory, handle larger solutions more smoothly, reduce slowdowns and crashes when working with big projects. The build tools, compilers, toolsets are still compatible with building 32-bit or 64-bit applications; what changed is mainly how the IDE operates internally. This results in a more stable environment especially for developers working with large code bases or many extensions.

Why does Visual Studio sometimes compile for "Win32" even when I've set the platform to x64?
This can happen if project settings aren't fully consistent, or if some of the linked libraries or included components are targeting Win32. Also, even if the UI indicates x64, some build configurations or dependencies may still be pointing to a 32-bit toolchain or library, or the project default hasn't been updated. Carefully check project & solution configuration, library references, and platform targets for every component.

Apparently Microsoft has been removing all references and links to VS 2022 from pretty much everywhere in their websites. Even if you search for Visual Studio 2022, and download the (supposedly) 2022 installer, it will download the 2026 installer. They've made most VS2022 links redirect to 2026 ones.

Anyway, after a bit of digging in this subreddit I found the one working page that lets you download Visual Studio 2022, and I'm making it a post so that others can find it more easily.

Here's the link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-history

Community Version: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_community.exe (or just scroll down to "Current 17.14")

If you want to do an offline update from VS17.12 to 17.13 , you can follow below steps:

  1. Update the layout to a specific version of the product.
  • Go to the Visual Studio 2022 Release History page and download a particular fixed version bootstrapper(e.g vs_Enterprise17.13.0), copy it into your layout, and use it to update the layout to that exact version specified in the bootstrapper.
  • Run the --layout command in an elevated prompt to download the latest packages into your layout.
vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\VSLayout
  1. Update your Visual Studio 2022 by running the Visual Studio Installer > Update or you can also use the following command:
vs_enterprise.exe update --noWeb --quiet --installpath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise"

Update

The easiest and fastest way to update your offline Visual Studio instances: using a minimal offline layout.

Do i have to download the entire VS Layout package everytime if there is an version update?

Unlike a full Visual Studio layout, a minimal layout only contains the updated packages, so it is always smaller and faster to generate and deploy.

1.Generating a minimal layout.

MinimalLayout.exe generate --targetLocation c:\VSLayout\ --productIds Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Enterprise --baseVersion 17.12.5 --targetVersion 17.13.0  --languages en-US

2.Update the Visual Studio Installer

vs_enterprise.exe --quiet --update --offline C:\VSLayout\vs_installer.opc

3.Update the Visual Studio application

vs_enterprise.exe update --noWeb --quiet --installpath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise"

Microsoft has a handy post that details what you need to do. Essentially, at the command line on the computer with internet access, execute:

vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\localVSlayout

Replace c:\localVsLayout with where you want to dump the files. It's going to be big! You may need to change vs_enterprise.exe with the correct executable name for your version of Visual Studio.
