Installation of Visual Studio 2017

When you install Visual Studio 2017, you have to customize the installation by selecting the required features to support the installation of AB Suite 7.0.

To select the required features, perform the following:

  1. Select the Workloads option.

    1. Under Windows, select the following:

      • .NET desktop development

      • ASP.NET and web development

    3. Under Other Toolsets, clear the Visual Studio extension development check box.

      Note: If this option is selected, an error message appears when you install Developer and therefore you will not be able to proceed with the installation.

  2. Select the Individual Components option.

    The required components to support the installation of AB Suite 7.0 are selected automatically based on the features you select in the Workloads option. However, you have to select the following components manually:
