[Solved]Visual Studio 2017 for Visual Basic application development

[LemonEntry]

I'm configuring an automated Visual Studio 2017 Community Ed installation for Visual Basic desktop application development. Works fine, except I only get UWP ("Universal / Modern application") as a option when creating new projects. Which extra workflows do I need to install to enable desktop application development for systems other than Windows 10? Alternatively, has anyone had any issues with just installing the whole thing?

 

Only installed workflows are currently "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop" and "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Universal

 

Current respone.json, in case anyone else is looking to deploy. Build using guidance from Microsoft Docs

 

{"installChannelUri":".\\ChannelManifest.json","channelUri":"https://aka.ms/vs/15/release/channel","installCatalogUri":".\\Catalog.json","channelId":"VisualStudio.15.Release","productId":"Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Community","installPath": "C:\\Program Files\\VisualStudio 2017 Community Edition","quiet": false,"passive": false,"includeRecommended": true,"norestart": true,"addProductLang": "en-US","add": ["Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop","Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Universal"]}

 

Edit: Solution was to install ".Net Desktop Development" (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop)
