How to delete Visual C++ Build Tools 2017

These tools allow you to build C++ libraries and applications targeting Windows desktop. They are the same tools that you find in Visual Studio 2017 in a scriptable standalone installer. Now you only need to download the tools you need to build C++ projects.

Note

This package installs MSBuild and Visual C++ tools. For MSBuild only see microsoft-build-tools package.

Package Specific

Package Parameters

The following package parameters can be set:

• /IncludeRequired - install the MSBuild tools and required VC++ tools
• /IncludeRecommended - install the MSBuild tools and recommended (default) VC++ tools
• /IncludeOptional - install the MSBuild tools and all of the optional VC++ tools

These parameters can be passed to the installer with the use of --params. For example: --params "'/IncludeOptional'".
