I am looking for the Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools. Are they still available somewhere?
I can find the 2015 and 2019 versions. The 2017 version seems impossible to find.
Due to toolchain limitations, I unfortunately cannot use the 2019 version to install MSVC141.

From here (guide for installing VS buildtools in a Docker container), I found that you can download:
2017: https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/vs_buildtools.exe
2019: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vs_buildtools.exe
2022: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_buildtools.exe

It is not clear how Microsoft decided not to make VS2017 Build Tool installer an obvious option for you to download, but maintainers on Chocolatey have packed up every recent releases, so you can download and install from there.
Alternatively, the chocolatey install script contains a link to Microsoft servers where the VS 2017 Build Tools Installer is still available.

You can find Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 here.
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads
To download any product from the following list, click the download button and log in with your Visual Studio Subscription account when prompted. If you don’t have a Visual Studio Subscription, you can create one for free by clicking on “Create a new Microsoft account” on the login page.

To track it down I had to go to https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads/Featured and search for "build tools" or "build tools 2017". Looks like you'd have to register and sign in to the site to get to the build tools downloads.

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT FROM HERE:

Which all things should be considered while adopting any newer version of Visual Studio? E.g. Moving from VS 2015 to VS 2017 OR VS 2017 to latest VS 2019.
What problems may come if all developers are not using the same Visual Studio version?
Generally speaking, can CI pipeline restrict us for whatever reason?
Note: All my projects are built on .NET Framework 4.6.2.
Personal opinions:
If you use Microsoft Azure Tools, when you open the solution for the first time in a new VS version, it will ask you to upgrade the project to the new Microsoft Azure Tools. That means your other developers, if you want them to continue see that .Azure project, need to upgrade the Microsoft Azure Tools version too.
You can have different versions of the language.
In Visual Studio 2017 you can use C# 7.0 while in Visual Studio 2015, C# 6.0 is the latest acceptable version. That means if the developer who is using VS2017 is writing C# 7.0 code, it won't compile on the developer's machine who is using VS2015.
Same as above. Your build agent should be have the latest version of VS installed. If he tries to build a project having C# 7.0 while he uses VS2015's MSBuild, an error would be thrown in the pipeline.
Those are the problems we have encountered. It is best that all the team migrates to the same Visual Studio version (hope the highest one) because you will have a lot of new features available for all.

Where can I download the offline install for visual studio 2015 express?
On the official website im only able to find the web installation.
For security reasons, the computers in my company do not have internet access. I would like to find the ISO installation or some offline installation.
Obs. I can not use the community version for legal reasons.
first you have to download vs2015 express web version (wdexpress_full_ENU.exe : 209 kb)
then run following command in your command prompt:
wdexpress_full_ENU.exe /layout
final downloaded folder size is about 9.16 GB
EDIT: Visual Studio 2017 express changed offline installation
EDIT: Visual Studio 2019 community :
vs_community.exe --layout C:\vs2019 --lang en-US
Get it here, its on the same page the web instaler is:
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615448&clcid=0x409
Note there is no express version of VS 2015, they renamed it to "Community"

Is it possible to use Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6 for a production environment?
Checked VS homepage for info but couldn't find any.
It is possible but you do so at your own risk. The download page for Visual Studio 2015 Preview says clearly that the software is not intended for use on production computers, or to create production code. The relevant text from that page says:
NOTE Visual Studio 2015 Preview and .NET 4.6 Preview are for testing
and feedback purposes only. This release is unsupported and are not
intended for use on production computers, or to create production
code. We strongly recommend only installing this release in a virtual
machine, or on a computer that is available for reformatting.
The rule of thumb is that CTP build usually has no 'Go Live' support and anything can change dramatically.
In a later Beta or RC build, you might read from Visual Studio team blog at MSDN they will announce Go Live support.

I was searching for Business Intelligence SSDT tools on Visual Studio 2013.
I found SSDT for Visual Studio 2012 here,
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=36843
Can we install the same to install for VS 2013?
If not where can i find SSDT for VS 2013?
It was just released here for Visual Studio 2013: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
Visual Studio 2013 support for SSDT isn't released yet. The appropriate feedback at connect states that
SSDT-BI 2014 for Visual Studio 2013 is coming, but not yet available (release date hasn’t been announced yet)
With the release of SQL Server 2014 (seems to be in April) support for Visual Studio 2013 should be added.
This was released a few days ago (SSDT-BI for VS2013).
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313
The download was not available on April 16th 2014. The download site "http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313" directs to a single text file indicating that SSDT-BI has been temporarily removed .... etc.
SQL Server tooling in Visual Studio 2013 - all the great database tools, now acquisition and updates are fully integrated in Express for Web, Express for Windows Desktop, Professional, Premium, and Ultimate. Since SQL Server tooling is included in VS, the updates will be pushed through VS Update and users will be prompted when VS is open. If you'd like to check for updates manually, open Visual Studio 2013 and choose the Tools > Extensions and Updates menu. SQL Server tooling updates will appear in the Updates list.
"For Visual Studio 2013, there are two different products that are called "SSDT".
One SSDT includes tools for relational databases in Visual Studio, with features like Data Compare, Schema Compare and SQL Server Database Projects. The other SSDT, referred to as SSDT-BI, includes the BI project types for SSRS, SSIS and SSAS. The SSDT relational tools are included in Visual Studio's setup experience as a checkbox option, but the SSDT-BI tools, on the other hand, are only available as a separate download. This "two SSDTs" thing caused a lot of confusion and was widely regarded as a bad move, so for Visual Studio 2015 we've made some changes." -- MSDN: How to install SSDT
Be sure to upgrade your SQL Server to 2014 before making this jump. It'll upgrade your packages and make them un-usable in SQL Server 2012 environment. I've had to roll my packages back...
