title: Visual Studio 2017 will not install on windows server 2012 R2
body: <p>I saw a previous post "Visual Studio 2017 build tools not installing on windows server 2012".
  The dialog says: "This version of Windows is not supported." Also a link to download some patches for WIN 8.0 is included (the msi do not run on WIN 2012 R2)

  <p>The "Answer" was to upgrade WIN SRV 2012 to "R2".
  I am already on R2 and I have the same issue.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help with a solution?</p>
