visualstudio2017: install the exact VS version as the package version

Open jberezanski opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Currently, the VS product packages simply invoke the VS setup bootstrapper, which always installs the newest released VS version.

In order to make installations deterministic, the packages should somehow instruct the bootstrapper to install a specific VS version. This can probably be done by embedding the channel manifest in the package.

Not sure if we can legally embed and distribute the manifests in the package.

An alternative (to embedding the manifest) idea will be tracked here: #82
