Installing Visual Studio 2008 Pro in Windows 7 with Vagrant

[Dylan Tisdall]

Hi,

I've built a Windows 7 box using packer, and have tested that it runs and all seems to be well when I run "vagrant up" on it with a very basic Vagrantfile. I'd now like to set this up with a custom install of Visual Studio Pro 2008 (put it in a non-standard directory and install a couple of optional packages). I have the install media for VS as an iso, but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do a pre-configured, headless install of this software. I know with VS2012 and later you can configure the installation with an .xml file, but I don't see any examples of this with VS2008.

Does anyone have any experience doing this with Vagrant, and can they point me to an example of how this is done?

Thanks,

Dylan

Hello Dylan,

Maybe at this point you can check chocolatey ? They have got scripts that install VS.

I think if you search for Silent install of VS you will get what you are after, then Vagrant can just run that script.

Good luck there!
