2 weeks ago - Just a quick note: this list is for Visual Studio, not Visual Studio Code. They may sound similar, but they are completely different products. That is a good question. Never trust anything you read on the internet, including my website. The download links I provide here are official download links from Microsoft. They are genuine and safe to download. I do not host the installers or use third-party servers. The files all come directly from Microsoft.

Community edition is special. Microsoft does not support any version of VS Community Edition other than the latest version which is VS 2022. If you have an MSDN subscription or a previous license to VS 2019 Professional/Edition then you can install and continue to use it. It is in extended support until 2029.

If you happen to have a copy of the VS 2019 Community installer then you can continue to install and use it. It won't just stop working. The trick is that you have to have already gotten a copy of the installer first. In the future, if you want to go this route, then I'd recommend keeping a copy of the installer so you can get back to it if needed.

Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why you need VS2019? VS2022 is compatible with it and solutions loaded in one can be loaded in the other so you can technically bounce between the 2 versions in most cases. You mentioned minifilter drivers but that is supported in VS022 as well. I know the template for it was removed because it wasn't useful. Here's a link to a discussion about the changes and a starter file that might help you.

r/VisualStudio on Reddit: Is Visual Studio Community 2019 still available?
August 21, 2022 -

My HDD crashed a couple of days ago. After performing a fresh install of windows and my dev tools, I noticed that only Community 2022 is available via the Visual Studio Installer. Not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but I can't see any way of obtaining it any longer.

Because I require some plugins that aren't compatible with 2022 yet, I need 2019. If there's no way to obtain the community edition any longer, I might have to purchase a copy of VS2019 or re-license the plugin for 2022... and ideally I'd prefer to not spend anything.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything after a quick search.

Microsoft no longer offers offline installers such as .ISO images of Visual Studio -- instead they have instructions of placing the burden on you to create an offline installer. You need to use the --layout command line argument and then run the downloaded installer.

  1. Download and Cache offline files:

    vs_community.exe --layout f:\vslayout.2019 --lang en-US
    
  2. Run from the cached directory

    f:
    cd \vslayout.2019
    vs_community.exe --noWeb
    

NOTE: Change drive F to match a drive on your system that has ~35 GB of free space for MSVC 2019. See the instructions for command line arguments to select just C++, .NET, etc. options.

You can get help on the command line arguments for the installer via:

vs_community --help

The relevant layout commands are:

command-line option     Description
--layout <dir>          Specifies a directory to create an offline install cache.
--lang <locales>        Used with --layout to prepare an offline install cache with resource packages with the specified language(s). See a full list of supported language-locales below.
--add <workload>        One or more workload or component IDs to add. The required components of the artifact are installed, but not the recommended or optional components. You can control additional components globally using --includeRecommended and/or --includeOptional. For finer-grained control, you can append ;includeRecommended or ;includeOptional to the ID (for example, --add Workload1;includeRecommended or --add Workload2;includeOptional).
                        Note: If --add is used, only the specified workloads and components and their dependencies are downloaded. If --add is not specified, all workloads and components are downloaded to the layout.
--includeRecommended    Includes the recommended components for any workloads that are installed, but not the optional components. The workloads are specified either with --allWorkloads or --add.
--includeOptional       Includes the recommended and optional components for any workloads being included in the layout. The workloads are specified with --add.
--keepLayoutVersion     Apply changes to the layout without updating the version of the layout.
--verify                Verify the contents of a layout. Any corrupt or missing files are listed.
--fix                   Verify the contents of a layout. If any files are found to be corrupt or missing, they are redownloaded. Internet access is required to fix a layout.
--clean <paths to catalogs>

I have developed an application using VB.NET to dynamically generate batch (.bat) scripts that can be used to download Visual Studio 2017, 2019, and 2022. You can customize the script using the controls included in the application and download it to a targeted drive. You can download it here.
