No need to mess with installed.db.  To fetch packages including dependencies on
a connected machine run (qgis-full as example; corresponding with the QGIS
Express install target):

mkdir packages
cd packages
curl -JLO https://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v2/osgeo4w-setup.exe
osgeo4w-setup.exe --quiet-mode --autoaccept --arch x86_64 --local-package-dir %CD% --download -s https://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/v2 --packages qgis-full

Then copy packages to the unconnected machine and run:

cd packages
osgeo4w-setup.exe --quiet-mode --autoaccept --arch x86_64 --local-package-dir %CD% --local-install --packages qgis-full
