I follow this instruction to create an offline installer for Visual Studio 2019.

I rerun the following cmd several times already:

vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\vslayout --lang en-US

But after a long time of verifying packages, it keeps giving me the error:

...
Total packages to download: 1
Starting 'UpdateLayout' operation
Error: Package 'Linux.GCC.arm_none_eabi,version=9.3.1' failed to download from '

I try downloading the Linux.GCC.arm_none_eabi with cmd:

vs_Enterprise.exe --layout c:\test --add Linux.GCC.arm_none_eabi --lang en-US

But it gave me the error:

But if I enter the url https://aka.ms/AA9z5w0, I can download the file gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update-win32.zip so the link does work, but how can I add the final missing piece to my offline installer?

My question is how can I solve this error so that I can have the complete offline installer?

My current solution is create the folder c:\vslayout\Linux.GCC.arm_none_eabi,version=9.3.1 and put the file gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update-win32.zip in it. But I wonder if this is the right way to solve it.

Update: My current solution works, after I manually download and put it into the offline installer, I re-run the cmd to verify the packages and it give me the OK result:

Total packages to download: 0

Setup completed successfully.

I checked your command line(vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\vslayout --lang en-US) and it is good, without any error. Not sure, but the prompt error may be caused by Microsoft Server side or CDN provider.

In my mind there were some similar issues reported before, which also mentioned "Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel…" or "Package XXXXX failed to download from XXXXX", like this thread, and this thread.

The solution you mentioned, maybe not a really "correct" solution, as this maybe a potential issue, but as you downloaded the package from the prompt link and it passed the verification, the installation should be good and complete.

Your solution is helpful and may benefit other forum members who meet the same/similar issue, so I just make a

summary:

Create a folder and name it with the name that error message mentioned, and then download the file/package from the link which error message prompt. Put it to this folder. Verify the installation by using command --verify.

The error said:

Error: Package 'Linux.GCC.arm_none_eabi,version=9.3.1' failed to download from '
https://aka.ms/AA9z5w0'.

So in Firefox browser, enter the url https://aka.ms/AA9z5w0, then I can download the file gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update-win32.zip

Create the folder c:\vslayout\Linux.GCC.arm_none_eabi,version=9.3.1 and put the file gcc-arm-none-eabi-9-2020-q2-update-win32.zip in it.

After I manually download and put it into the offline installer, I re-run the cmd vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\vslayout --lang en-US to verify the packages and it gives me the OK result:

Total packages to download: 0
Starting 'UpdateLayout' operation
Setup completed successfully.
Press any key to continue...

Success!!!
