Aim: Install .NET framework and packages also trouble shoot.
1. Download the Installer

Microsoft provides an installer on the Visual Studio website for installing the latest versions of
their IDE. Navigate to the Visual Studio web page and select the version you want to download.
The installer is the same regardless of which version you choose.

2. Upgrade and Launch the Installer

After downloading the installer, navigate to the download location on your computer and open
the executable. Ensure you have a stable internet connection as the installer might make a quick
upgrade.

Once the installer has upgraded, it will launch the download menu. The menu shows the currently
installed versions of Visual Studio and the versions available for download.

3. Select the Visual Studio Version You Want to Install

The installer provides several versions of Visual Studio for you to download. As such, you can
download the Enterprise, Professional, and Community editions of Visual Studio 2017, 2019, and

2022. We will focus on the 2022 version in this article. However, the process is largely similar for
all the versions.

Click on the Install button on the section for your choice Visual Studio 2022 edition and wait for
the installer to load the installation menu. You can also import or export a configuration for
components and workloads using the More button. Nevertheless, we will ignore this button and
make a new selection of components for ourselves.

Visual Studio is a general-purpose IDE that supports more than 36 programming languages. In
addition, it provides several APIs, SDKs, and frameworks from Microsoft.

Consequently, the full installation can become bloated and take up unnecessary space on your
computer storage. To prevent this, the installer allows you to choose which features you want to
add to the core editor.

Visual Studio provides hundreds of individual components to install. However, selecting them can
quickly become unwieldy and tiresome. Fortunately, the installer groups these components into
workloads with clear names and descriptions. Some of the more notable workloads include:

 .NET Desktop Development: For C#, F#, and Visual Basic application development. It
includes a GUI interface for creating windows forms applications and the .NET profiler.
 Game Development With Unity: For C# programming on the Unity game engine. It
includes the Unity Hub installer.
 Azure Development: Installs all the components needed for the Azure cloud computing
service.
 Desktop Development With C++: For building powerful cross-platform desktop apps with
the C++ programming language. It includes MSVC v143 build tools and C++ profiling tools.
 Visual Studio Extension Development: Provides all the tools needed to create add-ons,
plugins, and extensions for the Visual Studio 2022 IDE.

In addition to components, you can also add language packs such as Spanish, Chinese or Turkish.
Finally, you can select the installation locations for Visual Studio 2022. We recommend leaving it
as the default unless you wish to install it on a separate storage device.

5. Install the Selected Components

After selecting your desired components, click on the Install button in the menu’s bottom-right
corner. You can also view how much storage space the installation would require within that
section.

Furthermore, you can select one of two installation configurations. Install while downloading is
recommended for fast internet connections. Alternatively, you should opt for Download all, then
install if you have a slower internet connection.

The Visual Studio 2022 Post-Installation Setup

The installation for Visual Studio 2022 may take several minutes to an hour, depending on your
internet connection. After the installation, you can open up the IDE by searching for it in your
Windows search bar.

Once opened, you can customize the editor's layout and appearance to your tastes. Navigate to
the View tab at the top portion of the editor to discover the various windows available to you.

One of the most important windows is View > Solution Explorer, which shows your files and
project hierarchy. Most programmers prefer to dock this window on the left portion of the editor.

Another important window is View > Output which shows your build results. You can dock this
window on the bottom portion of the editor.
