I recently ran into some issues compiling an older version of the Unreal 4 game engine, and needed to downgrade my Visual Studio 2015 update 3 to update 2.
During a fresh install, the Visual Studio installer automatically goes out, and downloads the latest updates which was update 3.
After so scouring the web, I found a Microsoft site that shows how to install previous versions via command line, but here is the grid, just in case the site goes away.
| Visual Studio 2015 edition | What to run | Command-line to use | What setup does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visual Studio Enterprise (the latest public release) | Visual Studio Enterprise with Updates (available fromMy.VisualStudio.com) | vs_enterprise.exe Note: The default behavior of this installation offers the most recent optional features and therefore, it does not require any command-line parameters. | Visual Studio setup will use the most recent feed.xml and install the most recent files |
| Visual Studio Enterprise Update 3 (the original Update 3 without any further Update 3-era updates) | Visual Studio Enterprise RTM (available from the MSDN Subscriptions download page) | vs_enterprise.exe /OverrideFeedURI http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/B/B/6BBD3561-D764-4F39-AB8E-05356A122545/20160628.2/enu/feed.xml | Visual Studio setup will use the feed.xml that was available when Update 3 released |
