Updated: December 5, 2016 The new home for Visual Studio documentation is on docs.microsoft.com. For the latest documentation for Visual Studio 2017, see, or and. This page describes how to install Visual Studio 2015 when you are not connected to the Internet.
However, to perform a 'disconnected' installation, you must first create an offline installation layout by using a machine that is connected to the Internet. Here's how to do so. Important If your offline machine is running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2, please see the special instructions in the section of this topic. You must follow these instructions before you install Visual Studio 2015. To create an offline installation layout.
Choose the edition of Visual Studio that you want to install from the download page. After you download the installer to a location on your file system, run ' /layout'.
For example, run: vsenterprise.exe /layout D: VisualStudio2015 By using the /layout switch, you can download almost all the installation packages, not just the ones that apply to the download machine. This approach gives you the files that you need to run this installer anywhere and it might be useful if you want to install components that weren't installed originally. After you run this command, a dialog box will appear that allows you to change the folder where you want the offline installation layout to reside. Next, click the Download button. When the package download is successful, you should see a message that says Setup Successful! All specified components have been acquired successfully. Locate the folder that you specified earlier.
(For example, locate D: VisualStudio2015.) This folder contains everything you need to copy to a shared location or install media. Caution Currently, the Android SDK does not support an offline installation experience. If you install Android SDK Setup items on a computer that is not connected to the internet, the installation might fail. For more information, see the 'Troubleshooting an offline installation' section in this topic.
Run the installation from the file location or from the install media. When you install offline from your offline install cache, you might see warning messages about not being able to install some components and packages.
