Recently Microsoft has released the first major update for its flagship IDE i.e. Visual Studio 2012. Visual Studio 2012 Update 1, a 'regular cadence', is aimed to provide new and improved tools and capabilities for building modern apps.
The Visual Studio 2012 VC Redistributable Update 4 Packages install runtime components that are required to run C applications built with Visual Studio 2012. A lot of SharePoint 2013 developer environments do not have access to internet, therefor it is hard to install the Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012. When you download the Office Developer Tools from the MSDN website, you only get the small Microsoft Web Platform Installer (WPI) software that will then download the actual. This is the stand-alone Object Model Installer for TFS 2012 (Update 4). This may be used for developing applications that integrate with TFS 2012. This is the same Object Model included with the Visual Studio & Team Explorer SKU, in a stand-alone package. Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 was released about a week ago. This update includes lots of fixes and some features – you can see the list here. The only problem with the update is that Microsoft does not offer an offline installer. The Visual Studio 2012 VC Redistributable Update 4 Packages install runtime components that are required to run C applications built with Visual Studio 2012.
S. Somasegar, Corp VC of Microsoft's Developer Division says,
With this and future updates, we're striving to ensure that developers and development teams always have the best solution for building modern applications and for managing the modern application lifecycle. This approach to delivering updates, integrated directly into the IDE, should make it much easier for developers to keep the Visual Studio client up-to-date.
For more details about this release, see Somasegar's blog post.
So we developers should expect regular updates at shorter intervals from now on (sounds similar to Windows 8 Updates). But I have found that a web installer is provided for the update, requiring internet connection to install it as it acquires the necessary packages, weighing around 1GB during installation. And it could be panicking to install the update on multiple PCs or PCs without internet connection.
So in this blog post, you will walk through the step by step instructions to create an offline package of Visual Studio 2012 Update 1.
