[UPDATE]
As per March 7, 2017, Visual Studio 2017 was released for general availability.

You can refer to Mehdi Dehghani answer for the direct download links or the old-fashioned ways using the website, vibs2006 answer
And you can also combine it with ray pixar answer to make it a complete full standalone offline installer.


Note:
I don't condone any illegal use of the offline installer.
Please stop piracy and follow the EULA.

The community edition is free even for commercial use, under some condition.
You can see the EULA in this link below.
