So I tried MS page with link to older version. And in order to download anything from MS I need new VS 2017 installer (to be able to work from command-line). The problem is, this is basically one time installation, and I would like to download all the files, makes a backup.

So far I managed to download VS 2017 from non-MS site, GUI installer works, etc.


I would like to download VS 2017 with command line enabled in installer because I am afraid MS will soon pull the plug out and I will be left with scenario "upgrade computer, buy new smartphone, etc".
