Where can I download the offline install for visual studio 2015 express?

On the official website im only able to find the web installation.

For security reasons, the computers in my company do not have internet access. I would like to find the ISO installation or some offline installation.

Obs. I can not use the community version for legal reasons.

  • Not off topic at all, this is a very useful question for those having build dependency issues with github cloned repos. – Michael Fever Sep 30 '19 at 19:07

first you have to download vs2015 express web version (wdexpress_full_ENU.exe : 209 kb)

then run following command in your command prompt:

wdexpress_full_ENU.exe /layout

final downloaded folder size is about 9.16 GB

EDIT: Visual Studio 2017 express changed offline installation

EDIT: Visual Studio 2019 community :

vs_community.exe --layout C:\vs2019 --lang en-US

    For some reason `wdexpress_full_ENU_.exe` (209KB) gives me errors on win2016. It tries to download `wdexpress_full.exe` (2.8MB) that lives here http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615464 , but fails for some reason. Fetching `wdexpress_full.exe` from that link and using `/layout dir` with it worked fine for me. – alexkasko Feb 02 '17 at 13:26
  • @alexkasko thanks for that link: it works fine. – Gabriel Devillers Dec 10 '18 at 10:57

Get it here, its on the same page the web instaler is: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615448&clcid=0x409

Note there is no express version of VS 2015, they renamed it to "Community"
