    Hi folks,
    after a frustrating and long talk with Grok and extensive search on Google I am here to ask for your kindly help fo find and download not the bootstrapper .exes of the subject files but their full offline installers (around 220 MB each one).
    Coz when I reinstall Windows I use my own files without searching for them everytime on the net, sparing a lot of time.
    Winget is not viable got it installs the files but dont leave me with a backup copy of.
    SDK files are for coders, I am not.
    Offline installer let me choose the installation path (directory) where the online bootstrapper dont, and, even if for the many of you, with 1 TB SSD or more, partitions are now useless, I prefer to maintain Windows as much possible isolated from Program Files, Temporary Files, etc, my choice, so I really beg you for an hell if you could.
    Thank you all in advance.
    Truly regards.
    John

    No, I tried to download them multiple times.
    They have a 55,8 MB Weight (10 build) and I can't install it nor the 9 or 8 builds coz of a 0x800...error.
    According to Grok an offline installer should be around +200 MB, and I tried to download it also using the pure Chromium with no extensions at all, results it the same: a 55,5 MB file.
    I asked Grok if it was sure about the difference (55,5 MB vs +200 MB and I got an absolutely positive response).
    There is no option, like for Java Runtime, to choose between online and offline installer, so, or Grok is wrong, or these offline installers files are hard to find.
    I know that Grok is AI but in multiple occasions it helped me.
    It's imperfect I know, neither myself am, so I believed it.
    Now I'm in your expertise hands.
    Tx 4 yrs swift reply & let's keep going on with this matter.
    Yrs sincerely.
