The Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office runtime must be installed on each computer that runs solutions that are created by using the Microsoft Office developer tools in Visual Studio. The runtime is installed automatically when you install Visual Studio, and Microsoft Office. For more information, see Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime installation scenarios.

Interested in developing solutions that extend the Office experience across multiple platforms? Check out the new Office Add-ins model. Office Add-ins have a small footprint compared to VSTO Add-ins and solutions, and you can build them by using almost any web programming technology, such as HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3, and XML.

You might need to follow the manual installation instructions below in the following situations:

  • You need to install the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime on a server. For example, you want to use the ServerDocument class to manage document-level solutions on a server.

  • You need to install the runtime on a computer that already has all the other prerequisites for Office solutions installed.

    Note

    You must be an administrator on the development computer to install the .NET Framework and the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime.

To install the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime

  1. Install the .NET Framework 4 or later.

    • To download the .NET Framework 4, see Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Web Installer).

    • To download the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile, see Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile (Web Installer).

    • To download the .NET Framework 4.5, see Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.

  2. Run vstor_redist.exe to install the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime.

    You can download these setup files from Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office runtime. The prerequisites for the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime match the prerequisites for the .NET Framework.

    The Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime includes language packs. If your installation of Windows is set to a language other than English, you can display runtime messages in the same language that you use for Windows. Similarly, if end users install the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime and then run your solutions on installations of Windows that are set to a language other than English, runtime messages will appear in the same language as Windows. In some cases, you might need additional language packs. For example, you might need additional language packs if your copy of Windows uses more than one language setting, or you switch to another language after you've already installed the Visual Studio Tools for Office runtime. You can find language packs at Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for the Microsoft Office system (version 4.0 runtime) language pack.

I generate an an offline installer for the build tools like this:vs_BuildTools.exe --layout c:VS_BuildTools2017_offline --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --lang en-US

Microsoft Visual Studio Tools

I move this folder to a build agent (which has no internet connection, and no, it will never have one!), and then execute the vs_BuildTools.exe in that folder even with --noWeb or --noweb, but no matter what option I give, it will always fail with no internet connection available. Surely I am missing something, so any hints on what are appreciated

I also had problems with this.

One important step is to install the certificates before running the installer on the target machine:

  • Install the certificates, they are in the 'certificates' folder, which is in your Layout folder. Right-click each one to install it. Remember to install the certs using the Admin account on the PC. I.e. not just for the current user.
  • Run the installation file.

Answer was originally posted here.

In addition I also noticed that when running the installer on the offline machine it has by default selected some more items than what was downloaded. I had to deselect them to only install the build tools, not the SDK and so on...

But still the install failed, I am currently seeing 'An installation file did not download' so I have still not managed to complete the whole install. It's microsoft.visualstudio.vc.msbuild.arm64.vsix maybe it's included in some other component that have to be --added.

Update: Nevermind, my last problem was due to not using --noweb, with it there were no errors.
