Visual Studio Community Downloads - 2022, 2019, 2017, 2015
Official download link to old version of Visual Studio Community Edition
It’s sometimes frustrating to open old or legacy .NET Framework projects with the latest Visual Studio version.
Fortunately, this can be simply solved by installing the old version of Visual Studio.
While Professional or Enterprise versions of old Visual Studio may be available on Microsoft’s website, the Community version isn’t as accessible.
Here I’ve compiled a list of old Visual Studio Community versions from official Microsoft links.
WARNING. This is only for Visual Studio product and NOT Visual Studio Code. They may sound similar but they’re totally different products.
Following are the download links for old Visual Studio Community editions. They’re all official links directly from Microsoft, not from random providers. So you don’t have to worry about their authenticity.
- Visual Studio 2022 Community
- Visual Studio 2019 Community
- Visual Studio 2017 Community
- Visual Studio 2015 Community (ISO)
Alternatively, if you need to work with very old .NET Framework projects, you might want to try SharpDevelop:
- SharpDevelop 1.1 for .NET Framework 1.1
- SharpDevelop 5 for .NET Frameworks 2.0 to 4.5.1
Hope this helps and good luck with your project!
