If you mean the 'minor' installation of VS2015, I think people would 
have noticed. It took one hour and twenty minutes on my machine for 
Windows 7. Including 10 minutes to update .NET to the latest version (a 
mere 4.5GB download).

And there would have been a page where you told it what parts you wanted.
