Nope, not even that.

I downloaded the VS 2015 CTP this weekend and it is also about that large. I copied it to a USB backup drive thingy.
To make matters worse, I tried the same with SQL Server 2014 and it refused to run unless I burned it to a DVD.

Just set the File System to NTFS. Problem solved.

Format the darn stick as NTFS. Fat32 only supports 4 gb file size.

Tend to agree, Microsoft needs to peel back the installer and downloader with options, do we need SQL Server, no!, do we need C++, no!, do we need this shite, no!, what we want is options and it compiles runs and delivers package, don't care about the other stuff.
On the other side, I've got beaglebone, (intention is .net) and tried to download pre windows 10 version which over 8 gig (as you have to build yourself or package it), flick, that's bleep##, umm do need all that rubbish, just want the arm code, and not as an image, all I want is to add my drivers for i/o, a/d etc.. to the build, Flick how difficult can student make it! , don't want the the rubbish!

An other option is to unpack the iso to an external (flash) drive, using 7-zip or something like that. Then it will fit on other filesystems too.

Thanks for the experience. I only have three words to say:
MOVE TO PYTHON!
Quickly!!

You can copy it to your USB-stick. You only have to 'unzip' your ISO-file and then copy the unzipped folder to your USB-stick; you'll see it'll work.

I got it to go by formatting the stick with NTFS. Thanks though!

totally. But then again I read somewhere that most shops think disk space is cheap; I for one do not agree with this mentality. There feels like an ever increasing 'glut' going on. I try to keep the installs small (around 1mb or 2) and have optional add on installers for any extras someone may want.

That is why I and many more like me use Visual Basic 6.0. It is small (portable version ~6M) and very fast.

I also still use VB6 for a lot of stuff. Too bad it won't install on anything past Win7. I'm sure I will be needing a dedicated VM in the near future!

Your flash drive is formatted FAT32, which has a max file size limit of 4GB. Any larger flash drive will have the same problem. Change it to NTFS (format or use the convert command) and then it'll fit. You'll also get about 1/2 the write performance to it.. hence the FAT32. Oh, and you can only go back to FAT32 via a full format of it.
OR.. go buy a dual layer writable DVD. It'll fit on that too and your burner can probably write to it.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I think it must be the first time in three years that I've seen that.

I assure you it was purely accidental as my mastery of the English language depends entirely on spell checkers. Coincidentally I find it quite hard to check a spell with them?
