We designed Visual Studio 2017 to work well in a variety of network and computer configurations. While we recommend that you try the [Visual Studio web installer](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?utm_medium=microsoft&utm_source=docs.microsoft.com&utm_campaign=button+cta&utm_content=download+vs2017)—which is a small file and allows you to stay current with all the latest fixes and features—we understand that you might not be able to.

For example, you might have an unreliable internet connection or one that has low bandwidth. If so, you have a few options: You can use the new **Download all, then install** feature to download the files before you install, or you can create a local cache of the files.

## Use the command line to create a local cache

After you download a small bootstrapper, use the command line to create a local cache. Then, use the local cache to install Visual Studio. (This process replaces the ISO files that were available for previous versions.)

Here's how to create an offline installation by using a local cache.
Here's how.

To ensure that you install only the files that you've previously downloaded, use the same command-line options that you used to create the layout cache. For example, if you created a layout cache with the following command:
