Thank you for reporting the official release, seeplus. :)

I think I will still wait a couple of bug fix cycles (a week or so) before I go and install the buggah. 2019 is seriously "tricked out" to suit me at the mo'.

Or wait until the day before my next weekly boot HD backup so I don't have a lot of excess space in the daily diff files.

I should document all the changes I've done to 2019 so I can recreate them with 2022.

Downloading 5.14GB...slowly.

Grey, doing a download and install, or an offline install download?

I'm not surprised about the lack of speed. The MS servers are likely being swamped with requests.

[The Grey Wolf]

That is the download while installing...so Already downloaded the 'installer' this is downloading the tools and work flows. I'm installing a lot of the work flows not just C++.

I was going to leave it for a few days but I decided I could leave to box downloading while I was doing something else.

I use the installer to do an offline install setup. I start the process late evening and let it run by itself.

I download the entire set of workloads for a US/English install. Yeah, it gets rather bulky, but then the actual install goes relatively swift since I don't have to wait for packages to transfer.

Slow server bandwidth isn't a problem with the offline install. :Þ
