Description
Overview
This package adds the Office/SharePoint build tools workload to an existing installation of Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools.
The list of components included in this workload is shown here.
Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools must be installed first, for example using the Chocolatey package visualstudio2017buildtools.
Customizations
The package passes all package parameters to the Visual Studio installer, enabling full customization of the installation. The possible parameters are described here. The package passes --norestart --includeRecommended by default, and --quiet, unless --passive is specified in the package parameters.
By default, the package installs components required by and recommended for the workload. Package parameters can be used to adjust this behavior:
--no-includeRecommended- Does not include the recommended components.--includeOptional- Includes the optional components.
Example 1. Installing the workload, including recommended, but not optional components:
choco install visualstudio2017-workload-officebuildtools --package-parameters "--includeRecommended"
Example 2. Installing the workload, including all recommended and optional components:
choco install visualstudio2017-workload-officebuildtools --package-parameters "--includeOptional"
Example 3. Installing the workload, including only required components:
choco install visualstudio2017-workload-officebuildtools --package-parameters "--no-includeRecommended"
