Option 1: Build Tools Only
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
Click `build tools`_ and you will be prompted to login to your Microsoft account.
|
|
|
|
|
Then you should be redirected to a page with various download options with 2015
|
|
|
|
|
in their name. If this redirect doesn't occur, just copy, paste, and enter the
|
|
|
|
|
download link again and you should see the options. You need to get:
|
|
|
|
|
Visual C++ Build Tools for Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3.
|
|
|
|
|
Click the download button next to it and a dropdown of download formats will appear.
|
|
|
|
|
Select the DVD format to download an ISO file. When the donwload is complete,
|
|
|
|
|
click on the ISO file and a folder will popup with the following contents:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* packages (folder)
|
|
|
|
|
* VCPlusPlusBuildTools2015Update3_x64_Files.cat
|
|
|
|
|
* VisualCppBuildTools_Full.exe
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The packages folder contains the dependencies that are required by the build tools.
|
|
|
|
|
These include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 Developer Pack
|
|
|
|
|
* Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) - 14.0.24210
|
|
|
|
|
* Windows 10 Universal SDK - 10.0.10240
|
|
|
|
|
* Windows 8.1 SDK
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Click VisualCppBuildTools_Full.exe and use the default options provided by the installer
|
|
|
|
|
wizard that appears. After the installation is completed, add the path where MSBuild.exe
|
|
|
|
|
was installed to your PATH environment variable. The path should be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Option 2: IDE + Build Tools
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
Click Visual Studio 2015_ or 2017_ to download an installer wizard that will prompt you
|
|
|
|
|
to select the optional tools you want to download alongside the IDE. If you are not sure
|
|
|
|
|
what options to check, it can be helpful to download the `build tools`_ and open the
|
|
|
|
|
ISO file to see the required dependencies in the packages folder. For Visual Studio 2017,
|
|
|
|
|
it is important to select the v140 build tools option. DFHack requires v140 and not
|
|
|
|
|
the v141 version that comes in a bundle when you click the Desktop Development with C++
|
|
|
|
|
option from the installer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
|
Do not run the build tools installer together with the Visual Studio installer as they
|
|
|
|
|
will have conflicts with each other by trying to install the same dependencies.
