Hello, since there are no more DVD or ISO I need to download and create a offline Visual Studio on 10 machines that have NO internet. They are all classified system and it sucks I can't get an ISO for Visual Studio for 10 purchased license. I know I am not a rare case. I work on a military base, I think Microsoft should give special access so people that are military or government and give them an ISO or DVD so we can install on PCs that have no internet access due to classified access restrictions.

Anyway, I believed I followed the How-To - "Create an offline installation of Visual Studio" (tinyurl.com/yye9emaj)

Step1(Download the Visual Studio bootstrapper):
vs_professional.exe (Our version we purchased version)

Step2(Create a local install cache - For C++ desktop development):
vs_professional.exe --layout c:\vslayout --lang en-US

Step3(Install Visual Studio from the local cache):
c:\vslayout\vs_professional.exe --lang en-US

Step4(Install certificates required for Visual Studio offline installation)
When you create a network layout, the necessary certificates are downloaded to the Certificates folder. You can manually install the certificates by right-clicking each of the certificate files, selecting Install Certificate, and then clicking through the Certificate Manager wizard. If asked for a password, leave it blank.

I copied the "vslayout" folder and pasted into a PC with no internet access.

-I was in the C;\vslayout and typed out Step3. There is indication something is happening. I even get notice there needs to be some files setup before installation. After all that nothing, I wait and still nothing. So What's happened? I need to get this working because person who ordered and accepting the order and cost needs feedback if this is task has been successful, right now, NO.
