This is usually the bane of my corporate existence. I have to 
manually install so much stuff. Anaconda and RStudio's package 
managers don't work. Dub fetch doesn't work on my work machine. 
But for whatever reason, I've never had a problem with the Visual 
Studio installer.

My old home setup was a very small SSD to install Windows and 
then a bigger 3.5" data drive. I had to get a bigger operating 
system drive (NVME is pretty cool) when I started using Visual 
Studio more.
