Is there a way to install version 15.3 of MSBuild on the build server without installing Visual Studio 2017?
I tried to install 'Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017' from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/ per https://stackoverflow.com/a/42697374/ however I ended up with version 15.1:
msbuild /version
Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 15.1.1012.6693
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
15.1.1012.6693
We need version 15.3 to build Azure Functions project.
at the time of writing MSBuild 15.3 hasn't been released outside of preview versions of Visual Studio or the .NET Core CLI 2.0.0 previews.
When it is released, it will be part of VS 2017 15.3 (+ Build Tools), .NET Core CLI 2.0.0 and Mono 5.2
Answer of this question may help you
How can I install the VS2017 version of msbuild on a build server without installing the IDE?
The Visual Studio Build tools are a different download than the IDE. They appear to be a pretty small subset, and they're called Build
Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (Download)
You can use the GUI to do the installation, or you can script the
installation of msbuild:
vs_buildtools.exe --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools --quiet
go to the microsoft website and download vs_buildtools (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)
after the download access the folder through the CMD prompt and start the installation through the commands below:
vs_buildtools__1882505178.1548260078.exe --layout c:\VS_BuildTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.MSBuildTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --lang en-US --includingOptional
"vs_buildtools__1882505178.1548260078.exe" should be replaced with the version you downloaded to the site.
"c:\VS_BuildTools" path where the installer should be.
You can always build from source: https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/releases

I installed .Net Framework 6.0 from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/visual-studio-sdks?cid=getdotnetsdk. I rebooted. When I open VS 2019 and try to config a project that version is not in the list.
When I run dotnet from a command prompt I get:
I recently try to install Visual Studio 2017. But there is no offline installer. How to get offline installer for it.
I also tried to install Xamarin. Eventhough I have latest Android SDK, it ask me to download Android SDK again. How to rectify it?
Thanks in advance.
To produce an offline installer you first need to download the corresponding online installer, which will give you an installation file similar to one of these:
vs_enterprise.exe - Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise, download here
vs_professional.exe - Visual Studio 2017 Professional, download here
vs_community.exe - Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition, download here
Then all you have to do is this:
vs_WHATEVER.exe --layout path-to-empty-directory
Example, to create an offline installer for Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition you first download the online installer, then you execute this:
vs_community.exe --layout d:\temp
This will fill D:\Temp with all the files necessary to install Visual Studio.
Note: The installer will open a console window as part of its process, you need to wait until this window closes before you can safely use the contents of this folder.
There will be many sub-directories, depending on the packages available, but you will also have the original executable you downloaded placed into this directory. Executing this from this directory will install using the provided packages.
Also note that by default, unless you manually specify --add and package id's, all the packages will be downloaded. You will thus get a complete and current version to install offline. However, if you specify packages with the --add parameter, only the specified packages will be downloaded.

I already have Visual Studio 2017 professional with Desktop Development with C++ installed.
I am trying to build the Virtual Serial project found here:
https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/master/serial/VirtualSerial
When I try to build it, I get the error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB8020 The build tools for WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 (Platform Toolset = 'WindowsUserModeDriver10.0') cannot be found. To build using the WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 build tools, please install WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 build tools. Alternatively, you may upgrade to the current Visual Studio tools by selecting the Project menu or right-click the solution, and then selecting "Retarget solution". virtualserial C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.Cpp.Platform.targets
I cannot find any instructions on installation aside from this website.

I downloaded the WDK for Windows 10, version 1803.
I closed VS2017 and ran the installer.
When running the installer I got the message in the screenshot below, I clicked Next to continue installing
After running the installer, the project still does not build, with the same error: WindowsUserModeDriver10.0 is not installed.
What am I missing during installation? Is this the correct installer for regular VS2017 (not community edition)?
Thanks,
I know this is old, but I recently fell into this rabbit hole. What worked for me was uninstalling all of the WDKs, rebooting, and installing WDK 1803 (the wdksetup.exe program downloaded from Other WDK downloads shows version 10.0.17134.1 in properties). That WDK installer specifically calls out VS 2017 when you add the Visual Studio integration at the end of the install process.
In my situation, I installed vs2022 with SDK 19041 and WDK 19041.
After some testing, I realized that VS2022 only supports WDK 22621(so on this date). So I installed WDK 22621 and SDK 22621, and problem solved.
If you still can't find Kernel Driver Build option, try run this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Vsix\VS2022\10.0.22621.0\WDK.vsix(WDK 19041 only has VS2019). It's a Visual Studio's extension.
According to this: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware-winpc/windows-wdk-on-visual-studio-2017-community/fdbd2b44-e57a-4849-903d-04001205a764
WDK is not currently supported by visual studio 2017.
This is ridiculous
The Huagati tool was discontinued and doesn't install on Visual Studio 2013. I had used a posting (I believe on Huagati's site) on how to install it manually but I can't find it anymore. Anyone know where it is or how to do it? Thanks in advance.
The latest version will install itself in VS2013 too (as well as in 2008/2010/2012).
couldn't find the post but figured it out.
install Huagati DBML/EDMX tools as you normally would with the msi
look for the file "HuagatiDBMLTool2012.Addin" in the installation
folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Huagati Systems Co Ltd\Huagati
DBML_EDMX Tools\VS2010)
make a copy called "HuagatiDBMLTools2013.Addin" and update the version
tag to 12.0
In VisualStudio 2013, TOOLS -> Options -> Add-in Security and then
add the path to the VS2010 folder (usually C:\Program Files
(x86)\Huagati Systems Co Ltd\Huagati DBML_EDMX Tools\VS2010)
restart VisualStudio 2013 and it should work
I have Visual Studio 2010 with SP1 and Windows sdk 7.1.
I also have VS2012 and Windows kit 8.
when i run Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt and run node-gyp build --msvs_version=2010 it gives me error:
error MSB3411: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe".
If the component is not installed,
either 1) install the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Fr
amework 3.5, or 2) install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
Is it trying to find VCBuild.exe.
I found that vcbuild has been replaced with msbuild.
Is it a valid error ?
I also found that in Windows 7, for .NET 3.5, you just need to turn it on from Control Panel. I have looked at other questions on stackoverflow like here and this.
But issue is that since vcbuild.exe does not exist in system with vs2010 then why does node-gyp is searching for it ? Or am i missing something ?
How do i resolve this error ?
The following has worked for me (as of June 2014), as described in here.
Install free Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows (not VS Express 2013 for Web)
npm install --msvs_version=2013
Otherwise, I have spent a lot of time installing old Microsoft packages and patches, and it wasn't helpful.
Setting up the VS2010 and other applications as listed at node-gyp wiki solved the problems.
On Windows XP/Vista/7, node-gyp requires Python 2.7 and Visual Studio 2010
According to the readme file in Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1, to ensure that your system has a supported configuration,
uninstall the following products first (if you want to save tons of time)
and then reinstall them in the order listed: (you can uninstall in any order :P)
Visual Studio 2010
Windows SDK 7.1
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Compiler Update for the Windows SDK 7.1
On x64 environments, the last update in the list fixes errors about missing compilers and
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found.
The answer to all your question lies here. Struggled a lot to find this. Finally got it working. =)
Just to save you time visiting the link here is what's useful in that link.
INSTRUCTIONS:
You can install with npm:
$ npm install -g node-gyp
You will also need to install:
On Unix:
python (v2.7 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
make A proper C/C++ compiler toolchain, like GCC
On Windows:
Python (v2.7.3 recommended, v3.x.x is not supported)
Windows XP/Vista/7: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 (Express version
works well)
For 64-bit builds of node and native modules you will also need the Windows > 7
64-bit SDK
If the install fails,
try uninstalling any C++ 2010 x64&x86 Redistributable that you have
installed first.
If you get errors that the 64-bit compilers are not installed you may
also need the compiler update for the Windows SDK 7.1
Windows 7/8:
Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2012/13 for Windows Desktop (Express
version works well)
If you have multiple Python versions installed,
you can identify which Python version node-gyp uses by setting the
'--python' variable:
$ node-gyp --python /path/to/python2.7
If node-gyp is called by way of npm and you have multiple versions of
Python installed, then you can set npm's 'python' config key to the
appropriate value:
$ npm config set python /path/to/executable/python2.7
This can be fixed by installing all the required tools and configurations using Microsoft's windows-build-tools using npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from an elevated cmd (run as administrator).
