9 months ago You should be able to use the powerquery.sdk.tools.location setting to specify the directory of the unpacked SdkTools nuget package.
259 added a way to change the version of the tools you download, but I don't think we were considering offline scenarios.
There might be some additional work to prevent the extension from trying to download the package and erroring out.
Perhaps we could add an additional option for powerquery.sdk.externals.versionTag (something like Use Local) to indicate that the background fetch should not be done and to always use the pqtest binaries located at powerquery.sdk.tools.location.

Bug Description
How can I do an offline Install of the Power Query SDK für VSC?
Our ProxyServer and Firewall do not allow access to Nuget. Downloading and Installing the VSIX File triggers a call to download the Nuget file. Downloading the file and providing it doesn't work. Copying the complete Install from a working client (not behind the proxy) doesn't work.
Whenever starting VSC or trying to work with the SDK this error comes: "Failed to update PowerQuery.SdkTools package due to socket hang up".
What is needed for an offline Install to work?
Steps to Reproduce
Have a Proxy that blocks traffic to Nuget Install VSIX file for Power Query / M Language Install VSIX file for Power Query SDK Copy the .vscode\extensions\powerquery.vscode-powerquery-sdk-0.2.3-win32-x64 from a working installation Start VSC -> Error Open a PBI Custom Connector Project and try to evaluate. - > error
