How to download and offline install Visual Studio 2022 version update?

Do I have to download the entire VS Layout package everytime if there is an version update e.g. from 17.12 to 17.13 if the machine I want to install does not have internet access?

Currently the existing VS2022 installation got stuck on the installer which has an unfinished installation of update, only give me options as Resume(it was paused due to no internet access to download files), Modify and More(remove VS2022).

If you want to do an offline update from VS17.12 to 17.13 , you can follow below steps:

  1. Update the layout to a specific version of the product.
  • Go to the Visual Studio 2022 Release History page and download a particular fixed version bootstrapper(e.g vs_Enterprise17.13.0), copy it into your layout, and use it to update the layout to that exact version specified in the bootstrapper.
  • Run the --layout command in an elevated prompt to download the latest packages into your layout.
vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\VSLayout
  1. Update your Visual Studio 2022 by running the Visual Studio Installer > Update or you can also use the following command:
vs_enterprise.exe update --noWeb --quiet --installpath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise"

Update

The easiest and fastest way to update your offline Visual Studio instances: using a minimal offline layout.

Do i have to download the entire VS Layout package everytime if there is an version update?

Unlike a full Visual Studio layout, a minimal layout only contains the updated packages, so it is always smaller and faster to generate and deploy.

1.Generating a minimal layout.

MinimalLayout.exe generate --targetLocation c:\VSLayout\ --productIds Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Enterprise --baseVersion 17.12.5 --targetVersion 17.13.0  --languages en-US

2.Update the Visual Studio Installer

vs_enterprise.exe --quiet --update --offline C:\VSLayout\vs_installer.opc

3.Update the Visual Studio application

vs_enterprise.exe update --noWeb --quiet --installpath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise"

Microsoft has a handy post that details what you need to do. Essentially, at the command line on the computer with internet access, execute:

vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\localVSlayout

Replace c:\localVsLayout with where you want to dump the files. It's going to be big! You may need to change vs_enterprise.exe with the correct executable name for your version of Visual Studio.
