Example – only .NET desktop + Universal Windows Platform:
Navigate to where you saved the bootstrapper (e.g., cd C:\Users\YourName\Downloads ), then run: download visual studio offline installer 2022
Unlike the web installer (a few MB), the offline installer downloads all necessary files at once so you can install without an internet connection or deploy across multiple machines. Microsoft does not provide a single monolithic EXE. You must use the Visual Studio Bootstrapper with command-line arguments. Example – only
vs_professional.exe --layout c:\vs2022_offline --lang en-US cd C:\Users\YourName\Downloads )
vs_community.exe --layout c:\vs2022_offline --lang en-US
