I'm trying to build a VS2019 PRO Build for our developers but the installation is constantly failing.

I've created a layout using vs_professional.exe --Layout C:\VSLayout --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Data --includeRecommended --lang EN-US

Copied the files to a network share

Installed Certificated on target machine

Run \SERVER\SHARE\vs_setup.exe --noweb --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Data --includeRecommended to install from the layout but it fails every time

Firstly the 'offline' installer trys to get online so fails

If i do it on a machine that can get online it errors with

"A product matching the following parameters cannot be found: channelid Visual Studio.16.release!
