Step 4 - Select workloads After the installer is installed, you can use it to customize your installation by selecting the feature sets—or workloads—that you want.
Find the workload you want in the Installing Visual Studio screen. For example, choose the '.NET desktop development' workload. It comes with the default core editor, which includes basic code editing support for over 20 languages, the ability to open and edit code from any folder without requiring a project, and integrated source code control. After you select the workload(s) you want, click Install. Next, status screens appear that show the progress of your Visual Studio installation. After the new workloads and components are installed, click Launch.
Tip At any time after installation, you can install workloads or components that you didn't install initially. If you have Visual Studio open, go to Tools Get Tools and Features. Which opens the Visual Studio Installer. Or, open Visual Studio Installer from the Start menu. From there, you can select the workloads or components that you wish to install, then click Modify. Step 5 - Select individual components (Optional) If you don't want to use the Workloads feature to customize your Visual Studio installation, you can do so by installing individual components instead. To select individual components, click the Individual components option from the Visual Studio Installer, select what you want, and then follow the prompts.

Change the installer language from the command line Another way that you can change the default language is by running the installer from the command line. For example, you can force the installer to run in English by using the following command: vsinstaller.exe -locale en-US. The installer will remember this setting when it is run the next time. The installer supports the following language tokens: zh-cn, zh-tw, cs-cz, en-us, es-es, fr-fr, de-de, it-it, ja-jp, ko-kr, pl-pl, pt-br, ru-ru, and tr-tr.
Step 7 - Change the installation location (Optional) New in 15.7: You can now reduce the installation footprint of Visual Studio on your system drive. You can choose to move the download cache, shared components, SDKs, and tools to different drives, and keep Visual Studio on the drive that runs it the fastest. For more information, see the page.
