Please help me understand how to install Visual Studio 2019 on a PC that is not connected to the internet? When running the VS2019 installer downloaded from Microsoft on the standalone PC, the application needs a connection to the internet in order to download the needed software. Is it possible to download the needed files to my online PC, then copy these files to the standalone PC and perform the install (after I provide the valid key code)?

Hi Frank,
Was your issue solved? Please feel free to let us know if you have any other concerns.
Hi, please follow that guide to download an offline installation to install on other computer.
Create, maintain, and deploy a network installation of Visual Studio
That will create a "layout" to be able to reinstall somewhere else.

Hi @Frank DiFonzo ,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
You need to download the bootstrapper file > use the command line to download the workloads and components to a generated layout folder > copy this layout folder to your offline machine > open the layout folder and double-click to run the setup file(.exe) of VS > VS Installer will be installed firstly and then you need to select the corresponding workloads and components that you downloaded into the layout folder in VS Installer > click to install the VS.
Besides, here’s the workloads and components IDs for you to refer to.
BTW, if you are going to install VS Community version on an offline machine, then you may need to connect to network to sign in/update sign-in VS periodically. If you are going to install Professional or Enterprise version, then you can use product key to activate/sign in VS.
Best Regards,
Tianyu
