Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 and Microsoft Visual Studio 202 appear to have an issue where Visual Studio cannot be installed in an offline environment.
To determine the cause of the error, you need to refer to the logs output in the TEMP folder.

According to the Developer Community, with the new certificate revocation checks added after late June 2025, the following installers cannot access the revocation server in an offline environment and the installer is aborted.
Installer 3.14.2075.50697
2017 (15.9.73)
2019 (16.11.47)
2022 (17.14.4)
You can check the installer version in the file VS_INSTALLER.version.json directly under the offline installer.
├─vs_Proffessional2019.exe
└─vs_installer.version.json(instakkerVersion)
To install on an offline computer, the following intermediate certificate must be installed
Microsoft Windows Code Signing PCA 2024.crt (Microsoft official)
Microsoft Windows Code Signing PCA 2024.crt (Techlog Mirror)
After installing the certificate, the installer will start as usual.
In addition to Microsoft Visual Studio, the new SQL Server Management Studio also seems to require the installation of the intermediate certificate mentioned above.
If the intermediate certificate is not installed, the installer crashes during setup in SQL Server Management Studio as well.
