Visual Studio 2017 build tools not installing on windows server 2012

Question

I am trying my best to setup a build server. I went to install

and downloaded the latest build tools but as soon as I try to install it shows me this

So I though ok maybe it does not support it so I went here requirements

If you scroll down to build tools it says it support windows 2012 am I missing something.

thanks
