winapi - Can I download the Visual C++ Command Line Compiler without Visual Studio? -


as per title. don't want download entire visual c++ installer, "cl.exe" , other programs required compiling , linking c++ programs on windows.

in 2014 not download visual c++ compiler alone microsoft.

it used could. used in platform sdk. installing visual studio.

happily, @ time, compiler bundled visual studio express desktop (the free version of visual studio @ time) was, , is, same professional or universal editions.

in november 2015 microsoft again started providing compiler tools in free-standing package called visual c++ build tools.

microsoft writes:

c++ build tools installer not run on machine visual studio 2015 installed on it. reverse (i.e. upgrade visual studio) supported.

the long term situation is, always, unclear. and, disclaimer: have not used build tools myself – have uninstall visual studio first.
