Visual Studio Express 2017 install problems

Visual Studio Express is still interesting as its license is has no "Organizational License" clause (https://www.visualstudio.com/license-terms/mlt080317/ vs https://www.visualstudio.com/license-terms/mlt553321/).
Unfortunately installation (at least for me - Win10 Enterprise) was huge pain.
Here are installation hints:

  1. Download and start installer - perhaps you will see error message: "At most one command parameter can be specified..."
  2. If this is the case then copy extracted installer from temporary folder (use TaskManager to find location) - in my case it was folder with name "vs_bootstrapper_d15"
  3. Start installer (using command line) from copied location - in that case I observed no "At most..." error, but after installation start another error had appeared - unable to download "sqlsysclrtypes"
  4. Solution to "sqlsysclrtypes" problem is to download the whole installer locally (using "vs_setup_bootstrapper.exe --layout C:\vs2017offline --lang en-US") and then start "sqlsysclrtypes.msi" manually.
  5. After system restart (required after "sqlsysclrtypes.msi" installation) VSExpress2017 installation was successful.
