Visualstudio-docs: Wrong information

[suhailmahmood]

Take a look at the "Using --includeRecommended" section. It says to "Start an interactive installation of all workloads and components that are available in the Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition:"

vs_enterprise.exe --all --includeRecommended --includeOptional

That's in fact nonsense. It gives the wrong impression that we need "--includeRecommended --includeOptional" to start an interactive installation of all workloads and components, whereas "--all" does the job, as mentioned in this article (look for the install option --all).

I have tested myself, just the following is what you need to "Start an interactive installation of all workloads and components that are available in the Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise edition:"

vs_enterprise.exe --all

@suhailmahmood Thanks for your input. We'll take a look and update the documentation as necessary. @tydunkel FYI.

@suhailmahmood you are correct that --all is the only option needed to install all workloads and components, as --all will implicitly add --includeRecommended and --includeOptional. We will update the documentation to reflect this. Thank you for your feedback!

@tydunkel Thanks for your response; the updates to the Command-line parameter examples for Visual Studio 2017 installation page will go live mid-morning tomorrow.
