How to install VS2015 Community Edition offline

installation, offline, visual-studio-2015

Solution

Download the file of website and start it with the commandline switch "/layout" (see msdn to download visual studio 2015 installer for offline installation). So `C:\vs_community.exe /layout` for example. It asks for a location and the download begins.

EDIT: With the ISO version you still need internet connection to be able to install ALL the features. As pointed out by Augusto Barreto.

Problem

When visiting Microsoft website to download VS2015 you can download a file of a few MB in size to install Visual Studio. When you open the file it acquires the files necessary from internet, but you can not choose where these files are stored. How can I download the entire installation of Visual Studio 2015 to perform an offline installation? For example, for multiple machines.
