We've designed Visual Studio so that an administrator can both create and maintain a 'layout', a private cache of Visual Studio files, that can be stored on an internal network share and, if desired, be made available on an organization's intranet. Creating a private installation point is useful for situations where a user may have limited permissions, where the client machines may have limited access to the internet, or when an organization wants to standardize on a particular version of the developer toolset. Sometimes an enterprise administrator wants to create a private installation point that contains Visual Studio files that can be deployed to client machines within an organization.
