If you run it without arguments, will download ~20GB, the solution is to create and offline installer and go with it.

download 1mb community installer via https://www.visualstudio.com/
 
 

the best ~2GB
JavaScript:
//install NetCoreTools - then select what you want to install

vs_community.exe --layout c:\vs2017offline --lang en-US --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetCoreTools
 
 
 
1.85GB downloaded and still needs Internet Connection :
JavaScript:
//cmd by RolandCooper7 for Desktop & Web & NetCoreTools installation

vs_community.exe --layout c:\vs2017offline --lang en-US --includeRecommended --includeOptional --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetCoreTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb

 
 

maybe is time for desktop devs try SharpDevelop - http://www.icsharpcode.net/
