Does anyone know how I can get offline installers for Visual Studio 2017 cumulative updates? In this instance, I'm after cumulative update 26628.09: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-au/news/releasenotes/vs2017-relnotes#mar14

Maybe the instructions under How to update an offline installer here is what you are after:

  • To refresh your offline installation folder so that it includes the latest updates, run the --layout command again. Make sure to point to the same folder that you used before; this way, only those components that have been updated since you last ran --layout will be downloaded.

then

  • To update a Visual Studio instance that you installed from an offline installation folder, run the Visual Studio Installer, and then click Update.

I haven't tried it though to check if the cumulative update gets downloaded by running with --layout again.
