Hello I need to create an offline installer copy of Visual Studio 2022 PRO and downloaded the online installer v17.5 I need minimum set of component needed for working on Windows Desktop - .NET Framework 4.5~4.8 projects in VB and C# en-US only, and nothing more, is this set of commands correct?

Seems not, always stops around 37% :

Error: Setup completed with errors.

Error: One or more errors occurred.

Command:

VisualStudioSetup.exe --layout C:\VS.NET --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop --add Microsoft.Net.ComponentGroup.TargetingPacks.Common --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.DiagnosticTools --lang en-US Thank you

Hello @Peter Volz ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

I have verified that the command which you are using is correct.

Is there any detailed error message? There are many reasons which may cause the process to stop.

I suggest first verify that you have enough disk space(C drive) and then try to check the network connection, make sure it’s stable and try to connect to use another network. Make sure that there’s no proxy/rule/policy/antivirus on your machine/network which may block the process from downloading the packages.

Try to use --verify and --fix parameters to see if the error can be fixed(VisualStudioSetup.exe --layout C:\VS.NET --verify --fix).

If above methods don’t work, please download a new VS 2022 Professional setup file from here: Downloads again, save it to a clean folder, run CMD as administrator, change to use a new layout folder and run the command again.

Feel free to let us know the results.

Sincerely,

Tianyu

Hi @Peter Volz ,

Thanks for your reply.

There must be some components which are installed repeatedly.

Except CMD, are you using any platforms, tools, or scripts, together with above command to generate the layout? If so, please check this ID document: Visual Studio Professional component directory, and make sure that no components are set to be installed twice/several times.

You can download this collect.exe tool, run it to collect the VS setup log files. This tool helps collect the log files and generate a file/folder called vslogs.zip. It is stored in %temp%. Please extract the files and check the dd_setup, dd_installer, dd_bootstrapper files in it(vslogs.zip => Temp). Share us the recorded detailed error message for further check.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Tianyu

Thanks, will retry after a full system drive restore using Acronis TrueImage, I've downloaded vs2019 for now Project won't compile but all errors are shown only once and won't show up anymore! An old bug not yet fixed! No idea how others work with this tragedy... I still use vs2010 for my projects, and vs2013 for build time, IMO, the most reliable versions up to date!
