NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)

Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

Option 2: Internalized Package (Reliable, Scalable)

Open Source
- Download the Package Download
- Follow manual internalization instructions
Package Internalizer (C4B)
- Run choco download visualstudio2015community --internalize --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2 (additional options)
- Run choco push --source="'http://internal/odata/repo'" for package and dependencies
- Automate package internalization

3. Enter your internal repository url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2)

4. Choose your deployment method:


choco upgrade visualstudio2015community -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade visualstudio2015community -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

### Attention Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 Users

You must have Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 update: April 2014 installed in order to install Visual Studio 2015
You can download KB2919355 here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2919355

### Customizations
You can customize the installation either by adding optional available features or by specifying own installation configuration file.

### Customizations
You can customize the installation either by specifying your own installation configuration file.

#### Adding optional features
Optional features (Sql tools, phone tools, etc.) are available but not installed by default.
To specify the features you want installed you can download the AdminDeployment.xml and modify it to support your needs.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KennethB/Chocolatey-Packages/master/VisualStudio2015Community/Tools/AdminDeployment.xml

Specifying the optional features above modifies the configuration file used during installation (AdminDeployment.xml). If that is not enough you can provide this file on your own.
Example:

choco install VisualStudio2015Community -packageParameters "--AdminFile c:\path to your\AdminDeployment.xml"
choco install VisualStudio2015Community -packageParameters "--AdminFile http://path/to/your/AdminDeployment.xml"

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
