===== Create MSVC.zip =====

These steps are for installing Build Tools for Visual Studio on Windows and then packaging them up to be use inside of a Wine install on Linux or MacOS. See [[op2_sdk:projectcreation_tempnew|Project Creation]] for more details.

The first few steps for creating this are the same as installing Build Tools on Windows,  **except** you have to install the tools to a different folder (add the ''--installPath'' argument to the ''vs_buildtools.exe'' command. This article and the rest of the set up will be expecting the folder structure set up below. 

  - Follow Step 1 from [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/install-visual-studio?view=vs-2017|Microsoft's docs for installing Visual Studio 2017]] to make sure you have the right system requirements to run the Build Tools or Visual Studio 
  - [[https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#vstool-2017|Download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017]]
  - Open a ''cmd'' window and navigate to the location of the ''vs_buildtools.exe'' you just downloaded.
  - Run the following command to install the Visual C++ workload with the ''v141'' platform toolset and ''10.0.17134.0'' Windows 10 SDK. Afterwards, wait about ~5-10 minutes and you should have a folder at ''C:\MSVC\VC'' with a bunch of stuff in it

      vs_buildtools.exe --passive --wait --norestart --nocache --installPath "C:\MSVC\VC" --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.BuildTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.Windows10SDK.17134 --includeRecommended

  - Copy ''C:\MSVC'' to your desktop or somewhere else in your user space
  - Copy ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits'' to ''MSVC\Kits'' and delete all folders from ''MSVC\Kits\10'' except for ''bin'', ''Include'', and ''Lib''. You completed folder structure should look something like the following:

     MSVC /
        VC /
            Common7/
            DIA SDK/
            Licenses/
            MSBuild/
            SDK/
            Team Tools/
            VC/
        Kits /
            10 /
                bin/
                Include/
                Lib/

  - Zip up your ''MSVC'' folder and copy over to the computer with your Wine install.
