C++ is also very large because of the size of the libraries that we ship across many architectures and their matching PDBs. The C++ team made several engineering improvements over the course of the VS2015 release to improve our setup and so we were able to get our packages, compilers, and libs factored out in less time than other parts of Visual Studio. The most common question is why is only C++ being made optional. We’ve gotten a lot of feedback on this change and I wanted to address some common questions and concerns. A Note from Steve Carroll, VC++ Dev Manager At the same time, C++ developers can still get the pieces they need. This ensures that non-C++ developers don’t have to pay the setup time and disk-space price for installing C++ bits that they don’t need. C++ is one of the features which is available as an optional install (not on by default). That blog post also talks about the rationale for this change and future direction for Visual Studio install experience. As mentioned in the Visual Studio 2015 IDE blog post, the setup experience of the product now provides more control to the user, for what does and doesn’t get installed.
