Smallest "install footprint" for Visual Studio 2017 - C ++ core language and standard library

Question

As VS2015 pushed for bloated install (sql servers and other such nonsense), I was glad to see that VS2017 trumpet is a more accurate install menu.

However, I cannot create any of my base projects by simply installing "Visual Studio C ++ Core Features".

What are the minimum "custom components" needed to create projects (on Win7) that implement the main C ++ language and standard library?
