Answer 1

Hi @Suddulam, Sandeep

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Please have a try with visual studio 2015 enterprise with update 3 ISO image. Download the DVD file in this page, it includes most of packages from the downloading process, but it still needs internet connection during the installation. On April 26, 2021, Visual Studio 2015 and older web installer files were removed from the Microsoft Download Center.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Peng

Hi @Suddulam, Sandeep

I found the answer to your question here, because Microsoft does not seem to be interested in solving the problem they caused.
