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.

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:
