SSMS 22 Offline Installation - SQL Server Management Studio 22

I had someone Create an offline installation of SQL Server Management Studio for me. It was a fun install. Sarcasm intended. The installer could be so much smaller I think if it didn't have so many language packs in one bundle. Why not, if building an offline installer, why not allow a language selection right there. The first step was to learn to start the installer from the command line with: SSMS_22.2.1\vs_SSMS_22.2.1.exe --noWeb At this point, it would unpack files and then silently quit. No messages at the command line. Next time I do this, I'll have to keep track of where install log files go. The log files probably hinted at missing certificates. Three of the certificates can be installed with: certutil.exe -addstore -f "Root" "SSMS_22.2.1\certificates\manifestCounterSignRootCertificate.cer" certutil.exe -addstore -f "Root" "SSMS_22.2.1\certificates\manifestRootCertificate.cer.cer" certutil.exe -addstore -f "Root" "SSMS_22.2.1\certificates\vs_installer_opc.RootCertificate.cer"…
