    only .iso files available.

    An ISO file is a disk image. Mount it as a drive (rigth-mouse click on) and you have the complete installation media.

    BTW, VS 2005 is out-out-support since a very long time.

    Hi @Amutamil kavioviyan

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Please view the document: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/sha-1-signed-content-retired

    On April 26, 2021, Visual Studio 2015 and older web installer files were removed from the Microsoft Download Center. These products can be installed from ISO images available at Downloads - Visual Studio Subscriptions Portal.

    You may need a paid subscription to access the old versions. 

    It is noted that the VS2005 has ended for support. We recommend you download and install the latest supported VS. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna
