  1. Unable to Install Visual Studio 2022 – Bootstrap Link Broken & Installer Stuck


    Hi,I’m trying to create an offline installer for Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition using the instructions provided here:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/create-an-offline-installation-of-visual-studio?view=vs-2022However, the bootstrapper link https://aka.ms/vs/22/release/vs_community.exe appears to be broken and isn’t downloading anything.I opted for the offline method because the online installer also gets stuck at the “Getting things ready – downloading 0 bytes” stage and doesn’t proceed any further.Could you please guide me on how I can install Visual Studio succ

    :)
     

  2. How can I associate my Visual Studio 2022 install with Visual Studio installer?

    I have a Visual Studio 2022 install, I want to add components to it but Visual Studio Installer says "No products are installed"

    Clicking the button from the Visual Studio installer shows this window (I can't add the image, so I will symbolically type it out):

    ================================

    | Visual Studio Installer |

    | For this action, --channelId and --productID |

    | Or --installPath is required |

    | Command Usage |

    | And all the command line arguments listed |

    | [Close] |

    ================================

    How can I associate it back? I don't want to re-install Visual Studio

    The path is D:\copy\My\Visual Studio 2022 (1)

  3. How can I install visual studio community 2022

    Hello, Julien Gaultier



    Welcome to the Microsoft Community!



    Thank you for your feedback. I have read the information you provided. You mentioned that you are unable to download Visual Studio 2022 from the Microsoft Store.



    Based on your description of the issue, please first try to uninstall it completely using the Visual Studio uninstall tool. Please refer to the link below for how to use it.

    Uninstall or remove Visual Studio | Microsoft Learn



    Please follow the instructions in the documentation to uninstall all Visual Studio components using the command line



    Then if you are unable to download Visual Studio from the Microsoft Store, you can also try to install it by downloading the installer on the web. Click below to download.

    Visual Studio: IDE and Code Editor for Software Developers and Teams (microsoft.com)



    I hope this information has been helpful. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help you further.
