About

A technology that supports building and running Windows apps and web services.

This is an offline installer. There are separate installers for web and offline installation.

If you intend to redistribute either of these installers in the setup for your own product or application,

we recommend that you choose the web installer because it is smaller and typically downloads faster. You

can download the web installer here. Wherever possible, Microsoft recommends you use the Web Installer in

lieu of the Offline Package for optimal efficiency and bandwidth requirements. The offline package can be

used in situations where the web installer cannot be used due to lack of internet connectivity. This

package is larger than the web installer and does not include the language packs. You can download and

install the language packs from here.
