Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Offline
Mina Delahoussaye
I am trying to install Visual Studio Community 2019 to a set of offline computers. I have followed the Visual studio instructions precisely and i have created the offline cache folder with all the files and .exe however when i try to install Visual Studio using the offline installer i get a prompt that it is "just getting things ready" then shows a window which attempts to download packages but again i have no network on these computers and i am really scratching my head as to why a OFFLINE installer is trying to connect to the internet...
OK i managed to solve this issue.I first needed to install the certificates to the local machine either from the certificates folder which is inside the layout folder or by right clicking the setup.exe and then Properties - Digital signatures - click on the item in the list then click Details - view certificate - install certificate - Local machine and then just continue the process with the defaults.
yeah this should be possible, but you are going to need an internet connection to download the Visual studio Build Tool installer, then with the installer you should be able to download all the necessary files for a offline installation, by either using command prompt or Powershell. Once you have one of them open jeas to the directory where you downloaded the installers and use
to create a local cache of the files needed. Then once you have this done you should be able to install the Visual C++ build tools from this package without an internet connection by heading to the folder where you have stored the offline installation files and run:
