#### Option 2

Install tools and configuration manually:
* Visual C++ Build Environment:
* Option 1: Install [Visual C++ Build Tools](http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools) using the **Default Install** option.

* Option 2: Install [Visual Studio 2015](https://www.visualstudio.com/products/visual-studio-community-vs) and select *Common Tools for Visual C++* during setup. This also works with the free Community and Express for Desktop editions.

* Option 3: if you already have Visual Studio 2015 installed and did not install the
*Common Tools for Visual C++* during setup, you can `File -> New -> Project`, pick
any of the options under `Templates -> Other Languages -> Visual C++` then `Ok`
and Visual Studio will offer to install the *Common Tools for Visual C++* with a
"Install Missing Features" / "You need the Universal Windows App Development Tools
to develop Windows app projects." dialog.
