To download the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition offline version

  • Run this on a connected PC: vs_community.exe --layout C:\VS2015_Offline --lang en-US
  • This downloads the entire offline cache to a USB drive, which you can then move to your air-gapped machine.
  1. Limited Internet Connectivity: Developers working in areas with limited or unstable internet connectivity may find it difficult to download the online installer.
  2. Large Team Deployments: In large team deployments, it may be more efficient to download the offline version and distribute it to team members rather than having each team member download the online installer.
  3. No Internet Connection: Some developers may not have access to an internet connection on their development machine.
