Had this exact same problem pop up today. I was able to use winget to install it:
winget install --id=Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community -e

I also needed to install and use VS 2022 today for a project that requires 2022. The line...
winget install --id=Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community -e
did work, but it took me a moment to realize that this was a PowerShell script! Afterwards I had to install all of the packages that I needed.
It's a shame that Microsoft tries to bury the older versions and doesn't make it easy to access them. I dug for about two hours trying to find out how to get 2022, if it wasn't for your post I'd still be digging!

it's crazy that you can't just download this product from their page. I'm always astounded at how crappy microsoft is but it really shouldn't surprise me anymore

I need VS2022 community to compile and run CUDA code for a GPU I have. Its not helpful of Microsoft to assume everyone can keep up with their releases. For example QT only supports 2019, and CUDA 13.1 only supports VS 2022.
Any ideas where I can get this please?
Phil

VS community is the free version. To reduce support costs only the latest version is supported. The paid versions support older versions and more control of updates.
Unlike the paid editions, the free version is always the lastest and does not support downloading earlier versions.
you will need to update your lesson plans
Sometimes you don't have a choice but to use an older version... which in itself is a shame that Microsoft doesn't allow for a backwards build on the newer versions or just make it easier to get the older version. It does suck to have two different versions of VS on this machine... eating up valuable space...
