How to Download Visual Studio 2012 Updates Full Package

To download the entire update without installing it so you can install on multiple machines offline for later installation, use the /Layout flag, so for example:

1. Download the vsupdate_KB2707250.exe to your desktop
2. Run: \vsupdate_KB2707250.exe /Layout, (where is the full path to your own desktop) and it will download all files to a subfolder of your “My Documents” folder named: Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 (KB2707250)
3. Distribute the files downloaded to your various machines and then run the downloaded vsupdate_KB2707250.exe in your “Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 (KB2707250)” in your My Documents (notice that there is a “packages” folder as a subfolder of the “Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 -KB2707250) folder – this is where all the downloaded files ended up from step 2)
