Visual Studio 2017 fails to install offline with “Unable to download installation files”

Question

So I\'ve created an offline installed of VS 2017 Community on my laptop using this command:

vs_community.exe --layout \"D:\\Downloads\\VS

Answer 1

Edited to avoid misunderstand

Running the downloaded Visual Studio layout as administrator worked for me. Maybe the VS_Version.exe try to normally download the files because it can't access to files in the layout (sometimes named backup), like me, in my job we have a lot of restrictions and when I ran the VS_version.exe tried to download and get the message error, but when I ran again the .exe as Administrator the installer started normaly, getting the files from the backup folder
