When installing Visual Studio on Windows machine, it always installs a plenty of annoying things. If there were a few programs in the list of programs before installing Visual Studio, after it it will grow by a few times. Is it possible to avoid it?

Visual Studio installed 48 applications as a part of it. – Sergey Jun 22 '11 at 5:24
You didn't try to install custom. – avirk Jun 22 '11 at 7:51

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

I am sure pretty sure that either they are necessary or can be removed by doing a custom install. I don't see any reason for Microsoft to install 48 applications for no reason.
