  I remember both of these programs you mention not being that hard to install offline. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346 https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346 https://learn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/install/create-an-offline-installation-of-visual-studio https://learn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/install/create-an-o... The main challenge with VS is trimming languages and features you don’t need. But if you don’t care about size you can just download everything. And it has support for incrementally updating the installer and pruning obsolete packages.

    I remember searching the internet for 25 minutes for each of them after discovering (annoyingly) that the installer that is given is not actually going to work offline. The ones you link work, but you really must search for it; its not presented as an easy to find option at all. which is not my default expectation possibly because I was raised in the late 80s/early 90s.
