While this is great - Visual Studio installer has a set of "command-line parameters" for unattended installs.

You can then build a script/documentation that isolates your specific requirements and workloads:

Had to do this back in 2018, because I worked with a client with no direct internet access on it's DEV/build machines (and even when there was connectivity it was over traditional slow/low-latency satellite connections), so part of the process was also to build an offline install package.

I tried this once. It downloaded way more stuff than needed and still required admin to actually install.
