@lewing and @steveisok to reply as we think mono support may have just worked by luck.

sudo home doesn't exist anymore with yesterday's release and the code has changed a lot. Please try again.

Checking back on this, is there still a need to use one SDK to install workloads into a different SDK? That was never part of the design and not really...

That issue explains why you need to install older workloads into an older SDK but not why you need --sdk-version. I'm still not clear why you can't use a global.json...

I appreciate the explanation. That helps me better understand why you need it as it particular to the ordering of your CI build. Note that we --sdk-version was not intended...

the 7.0.3xx port was approved for release in July. There won't be earlier ports as 7.0.2xx is out of support and the Roslyn side changes aren't in 17.4 (7.0.1xx).

@mmitche I assume we still want this, correct?

We have not made investments in this tool in a while and so have not investigated cases where --info and the tool differ. @Forgind has looked into the tool recently...

The installers should work offline already today. Are you getting a specific errors when trying the runtime install offline?

Looking through documentation, this information may help creating an offline install package for VS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/create-an-offline-installation-of-visual-studio?view=vs-2022
