Problems installing Visual Studio 2022 from local files

I’m having continuing problems updating/installing Visual Studio 2022 from an offline layout.

The Visual Studio offline installer and package tree were downloaded according to the following link:

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/create-an-offline-installation-of-visual-studio?view=vs-2022

Commands on Internet connected system:

vs_Professional.exe –layout c:\Temp\vslayout –lang en-US

vs_Professional.exe –layout c:\Temp\vslayout –lang en-US –verify (77 missing packages)

vs_Professional.exe –layout c:\Temp\vslayout –lang en-US –fix

vs_Professional.exe –layout c:\Temp\vslayout –lang en-US –verify (all packages OK)

The 70.1GB tree was then transferred to the system to be updated.

Command on air-gap system:

.\vs_setup.exe –layout F:\vslayout\ –noweb

Error from Visual Studio Installer:

Setup can’t continue.  We need to download some files to complete the operation, but the –noweb parameter was specified.  Please remove the –noweb parameter and try again.

Current best guess is that the previous install of 2022 was from a different location and that location is saved in Visual Studio … somewhere.

Uninstall performed.

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/uninstall-visual-studio?view=vs-2022#uninstall-visual-studio

‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\InstallCleanup.exe’ -i 17

Ran the installation command (.\vs_setup.exe –layout F:\vslayout\ –noweb) again. Same error. Logs say that it’s trying to install from the Internet.

Collected the logs.

The ‘vslogs.zip’ file couldn’t be attached due to limitations in this. How do I get the log files uploaded?
