Now simply open the command line in the folder where you have the Visual Studio bootstrapper and run the command: If we don’t specify workloads and instead get everything, we end up with a file that is around 40 Gbs! For SharePoint development, we will go with, and, with will be around 4 Gbs. We can do this in a very easy way using the command line, providing that we know the name of the workloads to get. The next step is to create the network layout (in simpler terms, the installation package) using the bootstrapper. The first step is to create the offline installer package, and we will use the great official documentation provided by Microsoft on how to create a network-based installation.Īs described in the documentation, we will need to download the bootstrapper to create the network layout, so chose between Enterprise or Professional version. The steps below were tested with Visual Studio 2019, but should be similar for 2022. So let’s see how to easily create a Visual Studio offline installer for SharePoint on-prem development. But because SharePoint on-prem farms often don’t have internet access, this becomes a challenge… But “recently”, the installation process was changed so that you download the Visual Studio installer application which then downloads Visual Studio and the selected workloads. In the past, it was possible to download the full Visual Studio installation file (a few Gigabits file), copy and install it on a development farm. For those solutions, Visual Studio is still your best friend. But a lot of companies are still using SharePoint on-prem, and there are plenty of classic farm solutions out there to maintain. It’s 2023 and SharePoint online is amazing, and so is the SharePoint Framework for creating custom solutions. In this blog post, you can learn how to easily create a Visual Studio offline installer with the workloads for SharePoint on-prem development. SharePoint on-prem development farms often do not have access to the internet, which can become a little challenge when installing development tools.
