The Web Installer allows you to download the packages you need (this too has no resume support) and then install it onto a PC that has no internet connection, we are going to take advantage of this feature. Step III – Run the Web Installer with a special flag It has to be downloaded through SDM, no other option for this one that I can find, but it is a small file so it downloads and decrypts without any problems. We have to download the web installer from Dream Spark because it has the key we need build into it.
Step II – Download the Web Installer from Dream Spark Just be careful and remember that torrents can have malware/viruses in them. You can either torrent a untouchedISO image or simply download it from Microsoft’s Download Center. The Dream Spark edition of Visual Studio does not ask for a key because it is built into the installer, so if you download the ISO from anywhere else, it will ask for a key, but you can circumvent that.
Step I – Download a Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 ISO image elsewhere After several failed attempts to download the ISO image file, I found an alternative method to download Visual Studio 2012 and other tools. The result is that the file gets corrupted and the list goes on and on of other issues with SDM. The problem with this is that the Secure Downloading has been implemented really badly as the SDM does not allow you to pause downloads if your internet disconnects. SDM or Secure Download Manager is a piece of software that downloads the ISO image files from Microsoft’s servers and decrypts them. However, it is quite annoying to download Visual Studio 2012 or other large files from Dream Spark because of it’s crappy Secure Download manager or SDM. This novel initiative by Microsoft has been highly praised by everyone. Dream Spark is a great resource for students because it allows you to download developer tools for free if you can prove that you are a student.
