Thanks in advance.

I have VS2017 on my build machine now and all is well. I need to upgrade to VS2017 15.9.4 so that I can move forward with the .NET Core 2.1.7 install. I've tried doing this from within VS and I am getting, "an installed product matching the following parameters cannot be found. installPath: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise.

The log file that is generated has this in it:

Error: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Download.DownloadFailureException: WebClient download failed: Unable to connect to the remote server. Bits download failed: Error context: BG_ERROR_CONTEXT_REMOTE_FILE, Error code: -2145844845. WinInet download failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I'm not sure what remote server can't be hit. Can I just download the update and install it? Or do something on my build server to make it access the "remote server"? I really, reeeeally don't want to have to do a clean up and a new install of 2017 just to get the upgrade. It would be much cleaner if I can just find a way to update VS 2017.

Thanks.
