![]() ![]() ![]() If you are currently using VS2013 or older, and you initially want everything to continue working as it was, there is good news for you: just use the older compiler and libraries toolset that is already on your disk with the latest Visual Studio. It is worth mentioning that what you are seeing is not only a reorganization at the UI level, but a complete rewrite of our installer.īefore joining Microsoft, when I was a customer, I was always excited about a new Visual Studio version, but also apprehensive about “upgrading” my projects and dealing with a few new errors/warnings on my codebase that worked fine in the “older” Visual Studio. The Desktop Development with C++, which most Visual Studio C++ users use today, takes less than 12 minutes. The obvious benefits are that you end up with less visual noise while you are using the product, less use of your disk space, and you can get everything installed faster! For example, if you only pick the Linux development with C++ workload, you can get it all installed in under 6 minutes on a typical developer machine. no ASP.NET bits if you are not also a web developer. This is exciting because it makes it easy for you to pick exactly what you want to have installed, without the bits that you don’t, e.g. The workloads most relevant to C++ developers are: Universal Windows Platform development, Desktop Development with C++, Game development with C++, Mobile development with C++, and Linux development with C++. When you install VS2017, you’ll encounter a new screen that organizes your installation options by what we call “ Workloads”, so you can pick the one(s) that you care about while ignoring the others. Faster installation and your hard disk will thank you First, we’ll summarize the new installation experience, then how it is pain-free to upgrade, then the new capability to open any folder of code (including CMake-based solutions), then how Visual Studio is for everyone, and finally what is new for productivity and performance. Specifically, we’ll focus on the latest release, Visual Studio 2017, which we are confident you are going to love! We have blogged previously about the value in VS2017, so this post will just be a summary pointing to older posts we wrote that are now all updated for the final RTM release. It is that last investment, Visual Studio, which I wanted to focus on in this blog post. by improving Visual Studio, which is the most fully-featured IDE on the planet.by continuing to enhance the C++ extension for Visual Studio Code, which is useful to all C++ developers regardless of the platform they do their development on, and finally,.by providing the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) Compiler, which we aim to be the best compiler choice on Windows for targeting Windows,.by enthusiastically participating with the C++ Standards committee to help the language itself be better for every C++ developer in the world,.We try to do that via various avenues, including but not limited to, Here on the C++ product team at Microsoft, our mission is to make the lives of every C++ developer on the planet better. ![]()
