337 views Asked by At

My hard-disk is nearly full, I need to backup the Visual Studio offline installer into 2 DVDs. (each can store ~4.3GB).

The Visual Studio 2015 installer's size is 7.22GB. SplitVisualStudio2015Installer.jpg The installer data is inside the packages folder, I need to determine how can I split this folder. Here is the package inside the packages folder:

It's best if the following checked features is in the first DVD VisualStudioFeature.jpg

If I can't determine how to choose packages for each DVD, then I guess the final solution is splitting the installer with zip then just burn the zip parts to DVDs (the final solution is not good because if I use this, I can't install the software directly from DVDs).

Sorry if I miss the point entirely, but why can't you just use a high capacity thumb drive instead? Maybe you need a cheaper media that is more secure than that? Or you just don't have a thumb drive available? How about an SD-card? From your phone? (might not be allowed to connect to your corporate PC - definitely check). Or phone by USB? Bluetooth?

Also, here is a long list of some acceptable and several marginal ways of freeing up more disk space on your SSD system disk. Space reclaiming options 2, 18, 19 may be the most well known and effective ones, but there is a whole long list.
