    This means vs_installer.opc file is digitally signed , but the certificate used for signing is either expired, not trusted by offline system or requires online revocation check, which falls in an offline VM

    Fix options:

    ·         Use updated offline installer(with internet connection during layout)

    1.       On a machine with internet, run:

    Vs_enterprise.exe --layout C:\VSOffline --lang en-US

    This will fetch the latest vs_installer.opc and signing certificates.

    2.      Transfer the C:\VSOffline folder to your offline VM.

    3.      Run:

    Vs_enterprise.exe --noweb

    This avoids fetching anything from the web and uses trusted certs cached during layout

                   

    Hope this helps, please let me know if any other query.
