I have trouble installing a specific version of Visual Studio 2017.
Microsoft released the new Update 3 (Version 15.3.1) and they only provide an online installer. This one installs the most recent version, which always includes the update 3.
The problem is that I need to install VS 2017 Update 2, but I found no way of doing that. I already had a look in creating an offline installation, but there is no argument for setting a specific version.
Do you know of any way to install VS 2017 with an older version then update 3?

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 currently have installed Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise version 15.9.15 (the latest available in Visual Studio Installer). I want to downgrade to version 15.9.11 due to some issues in my project. I have the installer for 15.9.11 but every time I run the installer, Visual Studio Installer is trying to install the 15.9.15 version.
I've tried with different versions but Visual Studio Installer always switches to 15.9.15 regardless. Is there any other way to downgrade? I've searched online but with no luck.
I already had Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition Update 3 installed on my computer but realized some programs won't run with it and I needed to downgrade to Update 2. I found this link which is the version I need but whenever I run the setup it retrieves Update 3 in the list. I can't seem to get Update 2 installed. Is it because I had the Update 3 installed before? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Maybe someone knows a direct link to the Update 2 ISO!
Thanks.
Have you tried to completely remove the VS 2015 community with update 3? If not, please try to download the VisualStudioUninstaller to clean up and delete Preview, RC and final releases of Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio 2015, as well as early previews of Visual Studio 2017, and you can run it for several times.
Follow this document: How to: Install a Specific Release of Visual Studio to download the VS community 2015 RTM version from the same website that you shared in here , then use the specific command like vs_community.exe /OverrideFeedURI http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/B/06BB0C5C-C767-4250-91DA-AB463377597E/20160405.3/enu/feed.xml or vs_ community.exe /OverrideFeedURI http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/6/B/06BB0C5C-C767-4250-91DA-AB463377597E/20160405.3/enu/feed.xml to install the VS community 2015 with update 2 per your requirement.
I've installed a few versions of Visual Studio 2015 and am now on Update 2.
I seem to have a number of Windows 10 SDK's installed and want to know which one was delivered with VS2015 Update 2 so I can target that? Then, when other devs in my team install Update 2, I'll know they've got that SDK installed.
This page lists some SDK's, but doesn't have an entry for VS2015 Update 2.

Is it important to install the version one and two for visual studio 2013 simultaneous to be updated?
No, you don't need to install previous updates. The update packages are cumulative, and include all feature additions and bug fixes from previous versions. You just need to install the latest one.
This is documented in the KB articles describing each update. For example, Description of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.
The same is true for the various Visual Studio 2012 updates.
No just install Update 2 for Visual Studio 2013 & you are good to go.
The Update 1 is more focused on fixing issues with the VS2013:

Whilst the Update 2, according to VS2013 team, provides more new features:
