Wow?!? Even removing this crap takes fucking centuries!
I'm already sitting here for 45 minutes. How the fuck is this possible?!!

    Try this with Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise. In the meantime I went shopping, cooked lunch, ate and walked with my dog. 64% of the installation completed.

    Visual Studio isn't just the ide, it also has all the tools, C++, linkers..etc. and more if you installed them. Also Visual Studio itself is pretty big.

    @coolq But that doesn't explain why the installation takes half a day.

    With each new version it gets more heavier... :D

    It's waiting for you to give up and cancel.

    @tracktraps it never takes half a day. Express the factors properly and you'll see how everything makes sense. Be reasonable.

    @AndSoWeCode That was just a metaphor.

    I feel like they should just hand out a VM with it already installed XD

    I remember one time I installed vs17, my somewhat slow internet made the install last literally 24 hours. Wasn't at home and had RDP setup to periodically check πŸ‘Œ

    @AndSoWeCode I takes way too long. Even on my i7 4790k oc'd to 5ghz, 16gb ram and GTX 1080 PC with an SSD it takes > 30 min.

    Ok thanks for the information.
    So reinstalling Windows too haha.

    @Bl4ckGhost2753 Why don't you just go away from Windows and take Linux (Arch Linux, of course @linuxxx). Visual Studio runs excellent with Virtual Box, also in seamless mode.

    Then you always have a clean system without garbage on your hdd/ssd.

    @tracktraps Oh the moment I get Arch working on my system, I'll deffo rant about it!

    @tracktraps yeah, your right, half a day is excessive :P

    @linuxxx May I ask why it fails?

    @Dacexi well how much did you install and configure?
    VS is kinda big, in every sense of the word.

    I mean I've installed it and deleted it many times. AT MOST I had to wait for like 30 minutes for it to install, but that was ... REALLY a potato PC, WAY too old for what it was doing.
