Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition is no longer available as a direct, public download from the main Visual Studio downloads page

Visual Studio 2015 was a landmark release for Microsoft. It introduced a lighter installation experience and improved support for mobile cross-platform development.

Microsoft has officially ended support for Visual Studio 2015 (Mainstream support ended October 10, 2017; Extended support ended October 14, 2021). Consequently, Microsoft has removed the direct standalone installer from the main Visual Studio download pages to push users toward newer versions.

For native developers, VS2015 introduced a drastically improved C++ conformance, including constexpr , variable templates, and rvalue references. However, the runtime ( vcruntime140.dll ) was binary incompatible with VS2013 and VS2017. Many industrial control systems (Siemens, Rockwell Automation) still ship toolchains expecting the VS2015 redistributable.

You can sometimes find direct links to the ISO image (approximately 7.1 GB) for offline installation.
