After a complete hard drive crash, installed Windwos 11 again and tried to install Visual Studio 2019.
A Bing search takes me here:
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/
The option for 2019 is selected and opens a dialog to download VS Professional 2019. Select download to get this file:
"C:\Users\Michael\Downloads\VC_redist.x64.exe"
Run it, agree to license terms and conditions, and click the Install button. Click Yes to allow install and about five seconds later the dialog claims “Setup Successful” That is much too fast. Close the dialog.
Open the Window icon and click "All" to see all apps. Scroll down to the Ms for Microsoft and the Vs for Visual Studio. Its not there. Open the install app again and select repair. Same result.
Why does this option from the MICROSOFT web pages not do the install?
Where do I go to get Visual Studio 2019?
And just in case, I read that VS supports Python. Is this correct? Edit: Yes, a restart was performed, same results.

Hi @Bryan Kelly,
The setup file(VC_redist.x64.exe) you downloaded should be a setup file of Visual C++ Redistributable packages.
You can get Visual Studio 2019 Professional and Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise version from here: Release Dates and Build numbers. About Community version of Visual Studio 2019, kindly check this thread: Is Visual Studio 2019 Community still available? I can’t find it anywhere and ….
BTW, if you are also interested in Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2015, see this thread: I can’t find the older version setups of Visual Studio 2015 or 2017.
And just in case, I read that VS supports Python. Is this correct?
Yes, correct. See this document: Python support in Visual Studio on Windows
Visual Studio is a powerful Python IDE on Windows. Visual Studio provides open-source support for the Python language through the Python Development and Data Science workloads (Visual Studio 2017 and later) and the free Python Tools for Visual Studio extension (Visual Studio 2015 and earlier).
Update1:
In short, you can directly download and install Visual Studio Professional 2019 from this link:

Thank you for the reply.
That setup file is 24 meg in size. It is not the redistributable packages, nor does it download those packages. I uninstalled and installed again, same results.
This is from a Microsoft site and from my perspective, needs Microsoft attention.
I followed the line titled Release Dates and build numbers to get here
And selected X84, and yes, I do have an Intel x64 processor with 32G of memory
That downloaded another version of VC_resist.x64, about 250 bytes smaller than the package I listed.
This one differs in that it states the computer must be restarted. Do that then continue working on my reply.
After restart, looked in downloads, nothing new there. Looked in the list of all aps, nothing new there. Visual Studio not installed, nothing new has been added to my downloads directory.
The remainder of the post provides more information that is quite good to know.
However, the essence is that nothing has changed. VS was not installed and no further packages were downloaded.
I am probably doing something wrong. But, the instructions are so simple that I don’t know what that something is. Please advise.
Thank you again for your time and patience. Edit, minor side issue. After the post the following typo was detected:
This one differs in that is states ...
Edited to change "is" to "it" and saved. The change does not show up. Not after a refresh. But when I try to do the Edit process gain, the change is there. After canceling, the word "is" is back again. This is a bit strange.
Hi @Bryan Kelly,
I think I explained a little complex above, never mind. I add a comment here to explain it again :D
To download Visual Studio Professional 2019, please open this link: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/history#release-dates-and-build-numbers
and click the "Professional" option as following screenshot shows.
After that, a file called "vs_Professional.exe" will be downloaded. Double click to run it, and Visual Studio Professional 2019 will start to install.
Why are my replies not shown?
The new link was superficially different, but the results the same.

Thank you for the reply.
This reply was posted yesterday morning and still present early yesterday evening, Pacific time. This morning the reply was gone. Why might that be? And did no one else see it? Will anyone see it this time?

This site is inconsistent. A reply by me was posted, then not found the next day, then found again. The reply with the working answer is not visible as I write this. Luckily I copied the critical text and post here:
To download Visual Studio Professional 2019, please open this link: https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2019/history#release-dates-and-build-numbers
That link did provide access to a valid install app and the install has succeeded.
If you see a reply with that line in it, be aware that as I write this it is not visible.
Someone with the necessary knowledge and connections, please report this to the team that manages these web pages.
Thanks @Bryan Kelly,
