I want to install a specific version of Visual Studio, but don't know how, specifically version 17.0. All my search result is just release notes, can't install. How to do that?
Thanks
Ok, I see it, we are only able to rollback to earlier version if using Enterprise or Professional licence (here), in my case, I'm using Community, which is free. Sad :(

I'm currently facing some issues with the latest Visual Studio 2019 version (16.7.0) and I want to go back to a previous version, specifically 16.6.2. However on the VS website I can't find a place where to download a specific version of Visual Studio, so is there a way (even non official) to download this version?
Officially, Microsoft provides older installer for VS 2019, but only the Enterprise, Professional, and Build Tools. Meanwhile Community edition
is only supported on the recommended latest release of the latest minor version of Visual Studio
So if you expect to be needing VS Community older version in the future, I suggest backing up the offline installer when they're released.
In case you need to install a specific version of the Community Edition you can download VS 20XX Professional Edition with the desired version and then, during installation, just select the Community Edition.
Steps:
Download the installer with the required version (release history for VS2022)
Open the installer and when the Workloads screen appears, close it to view the setup screen behind.
On the setup screen go to the "Available" tab
Choose the Community Edition (or the one you need...)
you can download the older version of Visual studio 2019:

For VS2022, the list is here:

I accidentally applied an update to Visual Studio, and right now have installed version 15.9. However, I'd like to downgrade to version 15.7. How can I do this?
I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but perhaps my uninstall wasn't clean because immediately upon reinstall, the VS version jumped back to 15.9.
To install specific older updates of Visual C++ 2017, you need to use the right additional parameters. See Microsoft Docs.
Note if you specifically just wanted to use an older version the compiler toolset (the C++ 15.7 compiler) you can do that with the VS 2017 (15.9) IDE installed. See this blog post.
I have a Microsoft Visual Studio solution that I have been using for many years for producing a new release of our software application. One of the projects has recently stopped loading.
It looks like the problem may be similar to:
Visual Studio 2013/2015 Can't Load Azure Project
However in that case it was a new installation of Visual Studio.
Looking in add/remove programs it appears that 'Microsoft Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013' has an installed date of 19th May this year and version number 2.5.21104.1601.
What is the simplest way for me to fix this problem? Should I uninstall the Azure Tools and see if I can download and install V2.4? or do I need to install a new version of Azure SDK, as the other question suggests?
Another option I have, might be to upgrade to Visual Studio 2017. I have been reluctant to do this, as am not sure what things might break.
EDIT: I notice in Extensions and Updates there is Microsoft Azure SDK 2.9 available. Should I install this?
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Phil.
As you said you could try installing Microsoft Azure SDK 2.9.
Here is the Microsoft Release summary for Azure SDK 2.9.
Before installing Azure SDK 2.9 you should read this document whether your project having all the support in this SDK. If not then you should upgrade to, VS 2017.
From a developer word, I'd say upgrade to VS 2017 where you get/support all the latest features in your hand.
I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Professional (final version), with some components, plug-ins and templates I use a lot. Recently, I been checking all the things that the Ultimate version has, and I've been wondering,
Can I just run the VS2010 ultimate installer and it upgrade the Sku, letting me use all of its features along with the previous plug-ins (like telerik rad controls, Deklarit for VS2010, and VS.php)??
Thanks in advance
Just for records, looks like everything worked pretty well.... And the answer to my own question is: Yes, you can Upgrade the Sku of Visual Studio 2010
Just to confirm that the upgrade path worked for me:
I simply ran the setup program for Ultimate without uninstalling Professional. It installed in less than an hour taking with it all of my settings, plugins and extentions & resharper came across also :)
Very Impressed ! :)
Yes, it works, I also upgraded Professional to Ultimate. Have to mention, that while updating I was not able to change the path for additional components. But ugrade works.
I installed the trial version of VSTS 2010 Beta 1, and I want to try out the Modeling projects, but when I try to create a new project, the modeling project is not on the list.
do I need to install anything else?
thanks.
well, It appear I downloaded the professional edition, though I was sure it was the team suite...downloaded again, installed, and life is good.
