No matching key exchange method found

Ran into this again while trying to ssh into the old battleship:

no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

A solution is to specify the key exchange algorithm on the command line:

ssh -o KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 root@169.254.8.70

More information can be found on OpenSSH's Legacy Options page.

Downloading an ISO for Visual Studio 2017

Note to Self

There isn't an ISO image download for VS 2017, you download the web installer, then pass it the commands to construct a disk layout for you. Here's the location of instructions to do so:

    Create an offline installer for Visual Studio 2017

That page includes instructions for:

  • Creating an offline installation layout.
  • Installing from an offline installation layout (may not be necessary, see the comments on this instruction).
  • Customizing the offline installer.
  • Updating the offline installer.
  • Troubleshooting.

And here's the command line I use:

    vs_Community.exe --layout c:\vs2017-community-en-US-offline --lang en-US
