I require an offline install for SSDT for Visual Studio 2017. Or how to hack the online download. (note not VS itself I have that offline install). I have used the online download to obtain the .vsix files but I need a way to install them.

  • Double click doesn't work,
  • Rename to .zip and extract and place them in the folder doesn't work.
  • There is an ISO available but it's only for 2015

Any help would be appreciated

You can download the offline layout using /layout input.

SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /layout c:\vs2017ssdt

You can find out what parameters can be sent in, if you enter

SSDT-Setup-ENU.exe /?

Once you have the offline layout of ssdt installer, you can copy it to a machine that doesnt have internet access and install there.

  • Invoke the executable from the local folder (c:\vs2017ssdt)...it will take a while and then it will find the downloaded files and install them. @Taavi: your post solved the issue. Thank you!! – David Jun 15 '18 at 15:02

Open CMD on windows and run below command

For .NET web and .NET desktop development, run:

vs_community.exe --layout c:\vs2017layout --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NetWeb --add Component.GitHub.VisualStudio --includeOptional --lang en-US

For .NET desktop and Office development, run:

vs_community.exe --layout c:\vs2017layout --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.Office --includeOptional --lang en-US

For C++ desktop development, run:

vs_community.exe --layout c:\vs2017layout --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop --includeRecommended --lang en-US

To create a complete local layout with all features (this will take a long time—we have lots of features!), run:

vs_community.exe --layout c:\vs2017layout --lang en-US
