It’s covered in the windows install guide for CUDA 9. Note that VS2017 support is beta/spotty. It may depend on which exact version of VS2017 you have.
The Visual Studio 2017 community edition has a bug in it’s installation program.
If the “CORE.NET” components are selected it will screw up the installation.
Also trying to remove the installion seemed to fail.
Re-installing was also not possible and failed.
Could be that I did something wrong though during uninstall not sure about that.
Like to warn others though… don’t install “CORE.NET” or your installation might fail too.
For now it seemed impossible to remove “installed files”.
I hope Microsoft fixes their installer so that it not longer displays “impossible to download files” or something… or writes a proper “uninstall tool” which will simply remove all visual studio files.
However there are further problems.
Visual Studio must be installed to C:\ drive… so if it’s an SSD with limited space it can be a problem.
Also it will install system files in windows sytem folders and such… so it’s kinda interferring with the windows system files.
Plus it might even start windows update.
What’s even more funny:
If visual studio is installing AND at the same time Windows Update is installing updates… this will go completely wrong and both will fail and not work anymore afterwards.
So make sure Windows is fully up-to-date… or disable windows updates before trying to install visual studio !
Even better:
Install windows and visual studio first in vmware/emulator and see the horror for yourself ! =D
