Title: What is the most efficient way to download VS2019 ?
Post by: hutch-- on January 12, 2020, 03:44:52 AM
I get asked from time to time by folks in locations where they don't have the bandwidth for multi gigabyte downloads about getting the 64 bit binaries necessary to build 64 bit MASM code. Any suggestions here would be useful to folks who don't have the bandwidth to get VS2019.

I went to this URL https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/create-an-offline-installation-of-visual-studio?view=vs-2019

Ran the Visual Studio Build Tools option which created a directory on my boot drive "vslayout". Then ran "vs_setup.exe" and as I already had VS2019 installed on this computer, it updated the versions I already had.
