How to download Visual Studio 2013 update 2 offline/standalone installation?

Question

As downloadable here but to be an online installtion process.

I\'m looking to ways to download the package offline and/or the standalone .iso installation file - similar

Answer 1

I found one way to do this via this article by storing the downloaded files. Though not a way to have iso file though.

Answer 2

For more current releases/updates (e.g. MSVC 2013 update 4 etc.) Microsoft recommends adding the '/layout' option when running the online installer from the command prompt:

<executable name> /layout

This command downloads all the packages for the installation, which makes it possible to install them offline thereafter.

Answer 3

I got this link for update 3 from Xinystudio:

Visual Studio 2013 update 3 offline iso

I know the OP is asking for update 2 but I thought this may present a better alternative.

In brief the answer is this download link.

As I have met this question many times for Visual Studio versions, I note down here the full process to access them all from A to Z.

1. Google search for visual studio updates as here
2. Go for links from visualstudio.com as here
3. Search for updates on the page - pick up the search result Overview of Visual Studio 2013 updates‎ which lists all latest Visual Studio updates.
4. Choose the version to open the download page.
5. Look for Installation Instruction section, SCROLL DOWN below to the part that says Download the ISO image directly
6. Enjoy your .iso - it's done here.
