My visual Studio 2015 installed without vcvarsall.bat.
This is not about how to find this file and I am also not a python developer.
MSDN states at the bottom of this page:
The vcvarsall.bat file can vary from computer to computer. Do not
replace a missing or damaged vcvarsall.bat file by using a file from
another computer. Rerun Visual Studio Setup to replace the missing
file.
I am running the installation through our local IT department so I only get a fixed version of the setup. It looks like this setup does not install the batch file.
I wonder what other means of generating this "file" (actually it is several files and a folder structure) there are - how does the visual studio setup generate this file and is that generation possible without running the whole setup?
You have some option to "install" vcvarsall.bat.
The obvious to rerun VS setup and add c++ features (maybe your IT dep is kind enough and...)
Install visual c++ build tools
Install windows sdk (select c++ related components)

I just want to change the exe file Visual Studio compilation path change
I am doing it like this now. i created a bat file that copied file. I have added visual studio build events. I wonder if there is an easier way.
meanwhile the exe file is being copied to the network drive
I had this problem in a different context (Elixir/Phoenix, Rust), but the root cause was the same: cl.exe could not be found during compilation.
My setup was:
Windows 10, x64
Visual Studio Community 2017 already installed, but only for C# development
For some reason the solution with installing the Visual C++ Build Tools (as #cozzamara suggested) did not work. Stops during installation with some obscure error message. Guess it did not liked my existing Visual Studio installation.
This is how I solved it:
Start up the Visual Studio Installer
Check the Desktop development with C++ (screenshots here)
Execute following command before compiling:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat
From this on the command cl.exe works. Alternatively (and more conveniently for development) start the application 'Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017' or 'x64 Native Tools Command Prompt VS 2017'.

I solved the problem by writing code like this in the Post build field, I just ensured that the exe was copied to the field I wanted
COPY $(TargetPath) "\x.x.x.x\ortak\yakup\TestApp.exe"
pause
$(TargetPath) = It gives the location where the exe exited, along with the exe name
"C:\yakup\project\TestApp.exe" like
I compiled and linked an executable file in VS2013, and then tried to run that exe on another computer.
I get this error on the other computer:
I read on this problem, and I saw I need to download VS2013 on the other computer to be able to execute this file.
But what is the point in exe file if I need to download a VS2013 on any computer I want to run it on?
Is there any normal way to execute it through the visual without go through this problem?
The MSVCP120.dll is part of the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package. Download and install it on the other PCs to get the program working or link the required lib via static linking.
After installing Visual Studio 2015 I am able to use the new editor features to add dependencies to Node packages and restore etc from within a Web project as per this documentation: http://webtooling.visualstudio.com/package-managers/npm/
Presumably Visual Studio must install node/npm somewhere in order to support these features, however it does not seem to modify my PATH to make these tools available on the command line (or via Visual Studio 2015 Command Prompt).
If I want to perform some npm operations on my project from the command line can I do this without installing node/npm again (which might become out of sync with the version of npm/node that Visual Studio is using) or is there a way to access the node/npm installation Visual Studio is using from the command line?
VS2015 installs node using Joyent's installer. It depends on the system-wide install and it does not have it's own specific or local version.
If you're command line is unable to find node.exe, I would first check your path property in your environment variables and add it if it's missing (it should be C:\Program Files (x86)\nodejs). If you see node's install directory there but still can't access it from the command line, reboot. Sometimes Windows needs to restart before it uses the updated path variable.
Hope that helps.
I wish to make my installer (visual studio setup) to install redistributable (Visual C++ 2013 redistributable x86) in case it isn't installed on the PC or install the necessary dll for my program. I don't wish to set a launch condition.
If possible, I wish that the installation of the redistributable to be silent.
Any suggestion ?
That's what the Prerequisites button is for in the setup project's Properties. You'll need to set a configuration (such as Release) before you see that button. That's where you add the VC++ runtimes. That will generate a setup.exe that users run - it will install any of those prerequisites and then install your MSI file.
To make it silent you'd need to get into the manifest file that describes the command used to install the runtime, and change it to a silent command. There used to be a tool called the Bootstrap Manifest Generator that would do that kind of thing, if you can still find it.
There's no support I know of for any of the following, but this is how the VS bootstrapper works, so mangle at your own risk :)
You could open the built setup.exe as a file with Visual Studio and examine the resources - under 41 there's a setupcfg that's the specicification for the prereqs. You'd need to export it, alter it and re-import it.
Alternatively, the template for the standard prereqs that this uses comes from the SDK in architecture-dependent locations such as Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1A\Bootstrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86\product.xml so if you go in that Xml file and find the correct VCRedistInstalled settings and command lines, make it silent, and it should propagate into the setup.exe when you do the build. This is unsafe because a) you've altered a file so that will now not be updated by any SDK updates b) The file doesn't match the one installed by the SDK and there may be installer repair issues and c) Every bootstrapper build will be affected.
You can use Merge modules and add it to your setup/msi which will install quietly
I want to learn how to use QtWebKit by creating a simple project, but I can't even install it. I found some tutorials like this, but it's for the standard Qt package. I am using for another project the Visual Studio Qt Add-in, so I don't want to uninstall it.
I found some WebKit source code in Qt-VS, but I don't know what to do with it. It does not contain any Perl script so the tutorial above is not good for it, but it does contain some makefiles. Or should I download the QtWebKit package separately, and follow the tutorial above? Will it generate compatible libraries? (I could not find any Qt command prompt, and the tutorial says the VS command prompt must be compatible. How do I know it?) Also, where should I move the binaries generated, so the project made with the built-in Qt template in Visual Studio to be able to find these new files?
Sorry for these lame questions, but I get lost really fast when it comes to building stuff from source and not given in binary form.
I would appreciate any feedback or link to stuff
EDIT:
The only thing I could pull of is to install another copy of Qt, the normal one, and use it for the WebKit project changing the Qt environment variable value each time I'm switching the project, but that would be the lamest thing ever.
Download the Qt 4.7.3 source code:
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.3.zip
Unzip and copy to a convenient location.
Open a Visual Studio 2010 command prompt.
You may need to run the command prompt as administrator. To do this, go to Start Menu > All Programs > Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 > Visual Studio Tools, right-click on Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) and select Run as administrator.
To make a 64-bit build, select Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt (2010) instead.
Change the working directory to the Qt top folder.
Run the commands:
configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2010
nmake
Wait an hour.
This will build Qt, with all components, including QtWebKit.
Does this answer your question?
user763305's steps will work with these additions:
You need to install Perl. I used "ActiveState Perl"
You need to install WinFlex and WinBison. For some reason the QT script refers to the flex as "win_flex" but tries to find an executable called "bison.exe." I renamed "win_bison" to "bison.exe" and it worked.
I was also able to configure it successfully and build for msvc2012
configure.exe -platform win32-msvc2012
nmake
And it didn't take a few hours on my machine. Just about 55 minutes.
