How to download and install Microsoft's Visual Studio C/C++ compiler without Visual Studio
(2 answers)
Closed 2 days ago.
Is there a way to download somewhere Microsoft c++ compiler (msvc++) without having to install the full visual studio IDE ?
I have found some downloads from 2015 but there is no recent version.
Thanks
The Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022 are available for download.
You can find them on the visual studio downloads site. Just expand the "Tools for Visual Studio" chevron, and you'll find the build tools download.

I read all of the questions and answers which are related or asked before and I still didn't find an appropriate answer to my problem.
I am using python 3.6.5 and pip(and setuptools) is up to date.
I am installed Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 from here:
https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017
when using pip install, I still get the error:
Microsoft Visual C++ is required
PS: I want to install airflow
This problem was solved on a computer having Visual Studio Community 2017 v15.5.2 and the Visual Studio Installer v1.16.1247.518 installed.
The steps used are as follows:
Start the Visual Studio Installer
Visual Studio Installer showed a Installed section that stated that Visual
Studio Community 2017. In that section was a drop-down titled More. The drop-
down option Modify was selected.
Visual Studio Installer then showed "tabs" titled Workloads, Individual
components, Language packs and Installed locations. The tab "Individual components" was selected.
Scrolling down the list of Individual components, there was a section titled
Compilers, build tools, and runtimes. Under that section there was a VC++
2015.3 v140 toolset for desktop (x86,x64) option that was unchecked. The
option was then checked.
The Modify button located at the lower right part of the Visual Studio
Installer was pushed.
After waiting an unreasonably long amount of time, the installer finished
modifying the installation of Visual Studio Community 2017.
As always, your mileage may differ.
As per instructions here: https://www.scivision.co/python-windows-visual-c++-14-required/
Use vs_buildtools.exe and install only the windows 10 SDK.
Visual C++ Redistributable installs run-time libraries and can be used to run applications written with VC. But you need Visual C++ compiler! So install Build Tools.
I suggest using MinGW as the C compiler.
I have a programm using an GSL library which worked quite well with Visual Studio 2013. Now I set up a new Windows version and installed Visual Studio 2015 RC Community.
After that I can not compile the code anymore. After converting the code to the new tool set I got the error that some external symbols of the libraries could not be found. I think this has something to do with the fact, that the library was build with Visual C++ v120.
So is there a possiblilty to add this Compiler Version to the Studio? And does it work without trouble next to a new version installed. I do not want to install the older version of VS, because of the possibility of some troubles haveing to version parallel installed.
You can install VS2013 toolset version from your VS2015 installer without installing visual studio 2013. From the 2015 installer, select Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools. Thats it.
Found it in a msdn forum (have to be the first time something is actually solved in a microsoft forum)
Install Visual Studio 2013
Open your Project in Visual Studio 2015
In the General page of the Project Properties, change the Platform Toolset to "Visual Studio 2013 (v120)"
You never have to open Visual Studio 2013; you just have to install it so that Visual Studio 2015 can find the toolset. (Unfortunately there is no way to install just the toolset.)
I have a Visual Studio project that I created in my previous PC (32-bit if that makes any difference). I recently got a new PC (64-bit) and I am trying to open the project and I am seeing the following error:
Unsupported
This version of Visual Studio does not have the following project types installed or does not support them. You can still open these projects in the version of Visual Studio in which they were originally created.
- ONew, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONew\ONew.csproj"
No changes required
These projects can be opened in this version of Visual Studio without changing them. They will continue to open in Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and in this version of Visual Studio.
- ONewWeb, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONewWeb\ONewWeb.csproj"
- ONewSln, "C:\temp\onb\ONewSln\ONewSln.sln"
Screenshot:
Is there a add-on or visual studio component that I have to download to make it work?
Please help me resolve the issue.
After doing some research and spending hours banging my head against the wall, I figured out how to resolve the issue.
You have to install Microsoft Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2012.
Open up the Web Platform Installer and if you don’t have it installed, download and install it. Search for Office Developer Tools and install it.
This will enable you to open the project without any issue.
Usually you can open VS2010 SP1 files in VS2012. But after opening and on compiling you may get some errors of missing packages. Then you have to install the missing packages. Check this out: Visual Studio 2012 compatibilty.
Some solutions, projects, files, and other assets that you created in Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) will run without modification in Visual Studio 2012, but others have to be upgraded. The above document describes how various kinds of assets behave in these two versions of Visual Studio.
If you use both Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio 2010 SP1, you can create and modify projects and files in either version as long as you don't add features that require Visual Studio 2012.
VS2012 may convert projects when you first open them, but the changes are (except noted in the document linked) backward compatible with VS2010.

I successfully installed GhostDoc to Visual Studio 2012 (Express Edition). Unfortunately, when I'm starting Visual Studio after installation, I don't see icon "Document this". I can't use Ctrl+Shift+D to document code and, if I click right button on name of class, I don't see "Document this". Can anyone tell me why?
Express Editions of Visual Studio only support extensions which have been especially approved by Microsoft for use in those editions. The only real cases where you can extend these editions is the following:
You can add new Project or Project Item templates, provided they are prepared without additional functionality.
You can install the NuGet Package Manager extension, which has special installation privileges for Express Editions starting in Visual Studio 2012.

Visual Studio 2012 failing to detect Visual Studio 2008 build tools
(4 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have Visual Studio 2008 installed on my machine and now installed VS2012. In the C++-project-settings of VS2012 I should now be able to change the platform toolset back to VC++2008 (V90), but there's only the new version VC++2012 (V110) available. Does anybody know the reason why my old installation of VS2008 is not recognized or how I can manually add the old platform toolset?
Thanks in advance.
The v90 platform toolset is part of VS 2010, so you must install both VS 2008 and VS 2010.
Well i have no experience with 2012, but when i used 2010 and 2008 combined i just had two different program files folders and so two different executable to start visual studio in the version i liked. Maybe this is of help to you just make 2 shortcuts ?
If you're sure you've got your VC2008 environment variables set properly, you can always hand-edit the .vcxproj.
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|Win32'" Label="Configuration">
<UseDebugLibraries>true</UseDebugLibraries>
<ConfigurationType>StaticLibrary</ConfigurationType>
<PlatformToolset>v110</PlatformToolset>
</PropertyGroup>
Just change the v110 to v90.
Obviously, that is kind of a hack. The v90 option should be there in the project properties. If this doesn't work, you could try reinstalling or repairing the 2008 install.
