Category: Microsoft,Visual Studio,Windows Update — Kamlesh @ 10:33 pm

Visual Studio 2010 LogoI am a fan of Offline Installers.  Reason: I keep building my PC/VM frequently and sometimes I don’t get a consistent Internet connectivity(Thanks to my ISP – BSNL).  Well, the Offline Installer also helps me save my Internet Bandwidth.

Today, I managed to complete the long time pending update – Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1.  The notification of this update was lying in my Windows Update since a long time.

Here is the ISO direct download link of Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (VS2010SP1dvd1.iso).  This ISO file size is around 1.48GB and is for all editions of Visual Studio 2010 (Express, Professional, Premium, Ultimate, Test Professional).

For more details, read the official link on Microsoft Download Center about this Service Pack.
