The build tools can be installed using the installer from the command-line without needing to launch the installer UI. Just like the installer for Visual Studio 2017 RC, there is also an area for installing individual components to allow for more granular control over your installation. Note that we also include CMake support in the Visual Studio Build Tools. These options are very similar to those found in the Visual Studio 2017 RC “Desktop development with C++” workload, which provides a comparable set of options to those available in the Visual C++ Build Tools 2015. On top of that there is also an optional workload for the “Visual C++ Build Tools” that provides an additional set of options that native C++ developers can install on top of the core MSBuild components. By default, all of the necessary MSBuild prerequisites for both managed and native builds are installed with the Visual Studio Build Tools, including the MSBuild command prompt which you can use to build your applications. This installer replaces both the Visual C++ Build Tools and the Microsoft Build Tools as your one stop shop for build tools.

The new Visual Studio Build Toolsįor Visual Studio 2017 RC, we are introducing the new Visual Studio Build Tools which uses the new installer experience to provide access to MSBuild tools for both managed and native applications. NET applications called the Microsoft Build Tools 2015. There was also an MSBuild standalone installer for installing the tools needed for building. NET tools for C++/CLI development, and various Windows SDKs. We expanded the options to include tools like ATL and MFC. Last year we introduced the Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools to enable a streamlined build-lab experience for getting the required Visual C++ tools without the additional overhead of installing the Visual Studio IDE.
