VS 2019 pro installation error - unable to download channel manifest

October 21, 2021

Hi,

Through my work, I received a product key, license account num, and authorization key for VS 2019 professional. Here is what has happened thus far...

1. Tried to install, didn't work because of error "unable to download the channel manifest from 'https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/channel.'"

2. Checked our firewalls/security settings; nothing indicating the URL was being blocked.

3.Ran "InstallCleanup.exe -full" through command prompt and tried to installed; still same issue

4. Manually deleted all programdata and programx86 visual studio folders and tried to installed; still same issue

5. Cached the installation files and pushed to the computer; still same issue

6. Contacted license support and they directed me to this website...

Can any one help?
