Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools Offline Installer

[Reney Shammo]

Ineed to silently install Visual Studio 2022 C++ build tools using a script. The script should download an offline installer and install it on a machine. Visual studio 2022 does not provide offline installer, but it can be created using Create an offline installation document. Following this document for C++ development it suggests to create a local layout with Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop workload. The resulting offline installer is about 3GB which is fine. From the script the offline installer is called with C:\CppBuildTools\vs_setup.exe --quiet --nocache --wait --in C:\CppBuildTools\CustomInstall.json command and the bellow is the content of CustomInstall.json file.

This approach requires almost 40GB storage and installs Visual Studio 2022 IDE and a lot of component which are not required. The script is supposed to install all the required component to build a C++ project on a build machine. So I'm wondering how to create the Visual Studio 2022 offline installer and how to install C++ build tools silently without including the IDE and other non essential components?

While trying to install BaseKit 2022.1.2.154, the installer crashes. Setup file is w_BaseKit_p_2022.1.2.154_offline.exe. Was expecting something smooth as CVF install or install similar to parallel studio, however was intimidated by the serious number of products and prerequisites.

Can you not dumb the installer for ifort users with some automatic options in Base kit? Some folks pay a premium for ifort only and do not care about the thousand things that we may not use in our lifetime.

Please note you need to have the Desktop development with C++ workload installed into each Visual Studio instance beforehand to enable integration into IDE automatically. For guidance on how to do that, visit> -microsoft-visual-studio-2019-for-use-with-intel-compilers.html

Regarding the offline installer trying to connect to the internet, we are testing out the issue. Could you share the complete log file with us? We assume that the download is regarding some Graphics drivers that the installer is unable to find within your system however, we need the complete log file to investigate further. The default location for the log file> C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI\logs

We have been at this install thing since the end of last week. After googling I found the exact page that you had linked and followed the same instructions in the 2nd try. The sample instructions are also based on VS 2019 Pro so it is an exact match.

I don't have access to other log files as in our org we need to involve both admins and security to do anything. So essentially three people are trying to install one product and still cannot get it done. We are forbidden to have any product that connects to internet.

We had uninstalled VS 2019 Pro and plan to install VS 2022 Pro and try this process again today. The log files that you have requested goes to elevated users directories and woun have been cleaned up by cache cleaning scripts automatically by now. As everything is in uninstalled state there is no log that I can provide you now.

Test Adapter for Boost.Test 1.0

Enables Visual Studio's testing tools with unit tests written for Boost.Test. The use terms and Third Party Notices are available in the extension installation directory.

Test Adapter for Google Test 1.0

Enables Visual Studio's testing tools with unit tests written for Google Test. The use terms and Third Party Notices are available in the extension installation directory.

Raghunath, we tested out the installation in the offline mode. However, we were unable to replicate your issue. The offline installer seemed to perform normally in an air gapped mode. However, we are still checking the log files you had earlier shared. We will share our findings regarding that soon.

The issue with Symantec interfering with VS 2022 install is still unresolved. But I understand that it is not an Intel issue. If needed I plan to use Intel Support to ask additional questions from our IT guys.

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:

This guide is intended for Java and C++ teams. LabVIEW teams can skip to Installing LabVIEW for FRC (LabVIEW only). Python teams can skip to Python Installation Guide. Additionally, the below tutorial shows Windows 10, but the steps are identical for all operating systems. Notes differentiating operating systems will be shown.

Upgrading from earlier 2024 releases is easy: simply download and run the new installer and it will update your current installation. If you already have the 2024 WPILib vscode installed, it will detect it and you can simply click "next" for that installation step. After installation, vscode will prompt you when opening your robot project whether you want to upgrade it to this version. Note that using the installer is required to get the new version of desktop tools such as Shuffleboard. This release is compatible with both 2024_v2 releases of the RoboRIO image. Mac note: if upgrading from 2024.1.1, it is necessary to manually remove the 2024.1.1 version of AdvantageScope before running the installer in order for the new version to be installed.

System Requirements: WPILib requires 64-bit Windows 10 or 11, Ubuntu 22.04, or macOS 12 or higher. C++ teams should note that Visual Studio 2022 17.9 is required for desktop builds. Mac users will need to have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed before running the installer. This can be done by running xcode-select --install in the Terminal.

If you're returning from a previous season, check out what's new for 2024. You will need a new RoboRIO image for 2024; this is available via the FRC 2024 Game Tools. Follow the WPILib installation guide to install WPILib.

Other installed programs may associate with iso files and the mount option may not appear. If that software does not give the option to mount or extract the iso file, then follow the directions below.

For this release, macOS users will need to have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed before running the installer; we are working on removing this requirement in a future release. This can be done by running xcode-select --install in the Terminal.

You will notice two buttons, Install for this User and Install for all Users. Install for this User only installs it on the current user account, and does not require administrator privileges. However, Install for all Users installs the tools for all system accounts and will require administrator access. Install for all Users is not an option for macOS and Linux.

Selecting this option will bring up a prompt allowing you to select a pre-existing zip file of VS Code that has been downloaded by the installer previously. This option does not let you select an already installed copy of VS Code on your machine.

Visual Studio Code - The supported IDE for 2019 and later robot code development. The offline installer sets up a separate copy of VS Code for WPILib development, even if you already have VS Code on your machine. This is done because some of the settings that make the WPILib setup work may break existing workflows if you use VS Code for other projects.

Java JDK/JRE - A specific version of the Java JDK/JRE that is used to build Java robot code and to run any of the Java based Tools (Dashboards, etc.). This exists side by side with any existing JDK installs and does not overwrite the JAVA_HOME variable

In case the installer fails, please open an issue on the installer repository. A link is available here. The installer should give a message on the cause of the error, please include this in the description of your issue.

Before Visual Studio 2019, you were able to install the SSDT with the offline installer.

You were able to install it as a standalone Visual Studio for SSDT or for an already installed Visual Studio 2017. It was almost straightforward.

With Visual Studio 2019, there is no SSDT standalone installer, so you have to install the extensions.

Of course, it can be easy if you have an internet connection, but how to install it in offline mode.

This blog explains how to install offline Visual Studio 2019, its mandatory component to install afterward the SSAS and SSIS extensions.

Note: refer to the Microsoft web documentation, to see if the SSDT extensions have been released for higher version of Visual Studio

Finally, the process is not so complex. You can easily install the Visual Studio and the extension in an offline mode.

If you need more Visual Studio extensions, just update your layout extractions and run again the Visual Studio setup application to add the new components. Alternatively, if you need to install more extensions, download them from the Visual Studio marketplace and run the installation on the Visual Studio computer.

Have fun developing SSAS and SSIS projects.
