Where to download vsupdate_KB2707250.exe as complete setup (not web installer)?

Question

Here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34818

you can download vsupdate_KB2707250.exe ( Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 CTP 4 ) as web installer.

Where can I download the same update package as "complete" setup ( and not as web installer setup )?

Hi The PerfectWave,

Thanks for your post.

I've searched on-line and also cannot find that standalone installer either.

If you need a standalone installer. I'm afraid you should wait for Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 to be available or send your user feedback here:

It seems customers can refer to this blog

As "Sheng Jiang" mentioned, use /layout to download the package

..anyway this update takes ages to download, to save other people time i've managed to create torrent for fast download:

Answer 4

@radioman-lt   thanks for your torrent!

@Sheng Jiang   thanks for your answer!

Yesterday I already use the argument /layout to download the entire standalone installer.

Answer 5

Thanks this /layout method works

Answer 6

Run the installer from a command prompt with flag: /layout

The /layout flag doesn't support SUSPEND and RESUME for the downloaded files.
I had to download VS2012 Update 2 over and over again because of its 1.8 GB-size took HOURS to download.

FAIL!

Simply just provide an ISO file with its checksum using SHA-1 so that I can download it using whatever download manager I use.
