"Due to licensing complexity of today's installer" - LOL

If there is licensing complexity in making an ISO file, just make a ZIP file of the whole thing.

The licensing complexity comes from things like downloading cordova and the android sdk, etc... Which are options that you can select. Distributing in ISO form, would mean changing the installer license, as opposed to optional licenses to agree to, you have to then composite the whole.

easy - how about making cordova, android sdks, etc as a downloadable component after the main Visual Studio is installed?

Which then negates the purpose of an offline installer...
