| -The [published Visual Studio 2017 bootstrappers](https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/) will download and install the latest servicing release available at the time they are run. However, if you create a layout, installing Visual Studio from that layout will install the specific version that exists in the layout, even though a newer version may exist online. |
| 123 | +**Note**: The VS 2017 bootstrappers available on http://www.visualstudio.com will download and install the latest VS 2017 release available whenever they are run. If you download a VS bootstrapper today and run it 6 months from now, it will install the VS 2017 release that is available at that later time. If you create a layout, installing VS from that layout will install the specific version of VS that exists in the layout. Even though a newer version may exist online, you will get the version of VS that is in the layout. |

| -We recommend and support the latest published servicing release of Visual Studio 2017. However, if you need to create a layout for an older version of Visual Studio 2017 for enterprise deployment, you can use the links below which will allow you to create a network install layout for that older version. These bootstrappers are "fixed" to a specific versioned release, so even if a later version of Visual Studio is published the layout will not be updated. |

128 |
| -> We do not support "fixed" bootstrappers for the Community edition of Visual Studio, since they are only designed to be used for deployment in an enterprise environment. |

| -> You should not install an older version of Visual Studio on top of a newer version of Visual Studio, as it may have unpredictable results. We do not test in-place installs of older releases over a newer instance. |

|

| -If you experience a problem with your offline installation, we want to know about it. The best way to tell us is by using the [Report a Problem](../ide/how-to-report-a-problem-with-visual-studio-2017.md) tool. When you use this tool, we automatically receive the logs needed to help us diagnose and fix the problem. |
