Since Microsoft no longer provides direct ISO images, you must use the Visual Studio bootstrapper and command-line arguments to create your own offline installation package. Step 1: Download the Visual Studio Bootstrapper

To create an offline layout, you first need the lightweight "bootstrapper" file for the Community edition.

Once you have the bootstrapper, you must run it with the --layout command to download the actual product files to a local folder. : For example, C:\VS2019Offline .

: Right-click the Start menu and select Command Prompt (Admin) or PowerShell (Admin) .

: Visit the Visual Studio Older Downloads page or use the official direct link for the VS 2019 Community bootstrapper.

: Navigate to the folder where your vs_community.exe is located and run one of the following commands:

For example, for .NET Desktop and Web development: vs_community.exe --layout C:\VS2019Offline --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb --includeRecommended --lang en-US Create an offline installation - Visual Studio (Windows)

: It will typically be named something like vs_community.exe . For easier command-line use, rename it to vs_community.exe if it has a longer, randomized name. Step 2: Create the Offline Layout (Download Files)
