Installing Visual Studio feels a lot like watching a "dying patient" slowly dragging along.
The initial installation takes forever, the progress bar crawls along, and you think if you just wait it out, you can finally start working. In reality, most of the time it’s just scanning components, like the whole system is checking itself. You sit there, thinking you’ll soon be coding.
The real fun comes later: when you try to create a new project, nothing is ready—you have to add missing components. Then come the updates, extra installations, and reinstallations, which make up the main part of the whole process.
The funniest part is, after staring at the progress bar for ages, thinking it’s almost done updating, a message pops up: “Please update the Installer before continuing.” And after you update it, it goes back and runs the whole ridiculous process again, like a replay.
The whole thing is like going to a restaurant: the waiter seats you for half an hour before saying, “Oh, you need to pay a deposit before you can eat.” Absolutely ridiculous.
I just wanted to install a simple C# Console App template to test my controller, but this “giant IDE” dragged me through the whole thing, like I was upgrading the entire system.
Microsoft’s integration is thorough, but this scanning + delayed alerts + extra component installs process really makes you laugh and cry at the same time.
I guess anyone dealing with this kind of mess to write software is probably the type building mountains of code.
By the way, I wrote this just to pass the time while waiting. Even though it took me a while to write, guess what—the package installation is still stuck at 87 out of 171.
