Visual Studio 2015 Thinks Windows 10 is Pre-Windows XP - c++

Today I installed Visual Studio 2015 on my laptop, though I just realised I didn't make the custom install option and I cannot write code in c++ . I tried installing the c++ redistriputable , but there was an error that said I should be using windows XP or newer (although I use windows 10?!?) . I can see the c++ redistriputable pack on my computer programs though. Please help, I need visual studio for a college project! Thank you!

You will either need to re-run setup and select the required options or alternatively, navigate to the New Project window in the IDE and look for the 'Install Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++" template. Running it should install the required libraries.
Please reference the following MS guide - https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/07/24/setup-changes-in-visual-studio-2015-affecting-c-developers/

X Visual Studio is missing necessary components. Please re-run the Visual Studio installer for the "Desktop development with C++" [duplicate]

My Flutter Doctor is saying:
Visual Studio - develop for Windows
X Visual Studio not installed; this is necessary for Windows development.
Download at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/.
Please install the "Desktop development with C++" workload, including all
of its default components.
How can I fix this problem?
It's basically saying that if you want to develop your Flutter application for Windows you will need to install Visual Studio 2022 and while installing Visual Studio 2022 you will need to download this: Desktop development with C++
Also, you have to install the third link in this: Visual-studio
You could also get desktop development with the C++ tool after installing Visual Studio and then navigating to tool → Get tools and features → Desktop development with C++.
The error means install Visual Studio, and this is different from Visual Studio Code. It's an IDE from Microsoft.
For those who may be using a weak computer and can't afford to install the full Visual Studio, you only need to install a few components from Visual Studio to get Flutter to run on your computer without errors. These components are:
MSVC v142 - Visual Studio 2022 C++ x64/86 build tools.
Windows 10 SDK (for Windows 10 users)
C++ CMake tools for Windows.
In total, they should occupy around 8 GB or so.
As it states, you need to download Visual Studio (which is different from Visual Studio Code).
When installing it, remember to select the required package Desktop development with C++:
This will not prevent you from developing Mobile apps, but it's a requirement only for Windows Development.
Is unnecessary to install the "Desktop development with C++" if you don't want to develop desktop applications for Windows using Flutter.
If you only want to develop mobile apps using Flutter, you can run
flutter config --no-enable-windows-desktop
to disable the desktop support for your Flutter projects. After that, when you run the flutter doctor command again, you will no longer see the warning.

Only two steps are required.
Install Visual Studio 2022 (Link: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)
Install Visual Studio Code (Link: https://code.visualstudio.com/)
Your code will run smoothly.
My solution was a bit simpler. Uninstall everything all build system's from VS. Then reinstall Visual Studio Community 2022, restart then try again. Might get a warning about nuget but it should fix the issue.
With the newest android installer "android-studio-2022.1.1.19-windows" there would be a jbr and jre folder existing, hence creating a link from jre to jbr would not work.
What you can do is copy the contents of the items in jbr into the jre folder and this would resolve the error.
Make sure to install Visual Studio Code.
Open the Visual Studio download page:

Visual Studio 2017 wont show c++ template/extansion

I am trying to use Microsoft visual studio IDE to run my c++ code, however, when I go to create a project, I do not see the option for a c++ project. I tried reinstalling the program to see if I could somehow install the package/extension however it just won't seem to come up.
The only templates that appear are in c# or f#.
If someone could please lead me into the right direction so that I can fix this, it would be great. Thank you.
I don't see any mention of C++ in the release notes.
According to this post on MSDN, there is no C++ support in the Mac version of Visual Studio. It contains links to instructions for using Visual Studio Code, as well as the option to install a VM running Windows.
Apparently Visual Studio Code supports C++ projects, since it can execute external tools. The Microsoft Visual C++ build tools are free for Windows, but I don't think there is a version for the Mac, so some other external compiler is necessary.

How can I get MatLab to find the Visual C++ Compiler?

Preamble: I found a solution in the midst of writing this, and this problem was a PITA and had a convoluted solution. Thus, I feel compelled leave this here to help any poor soul who has this problem.
I'm new to MatLab, and I don't usually use Visual C++ either, so forgive me if this should be painfully obvious.
Short version: I have Visual C++ 2013 installed on my computer, but mex can't find it when I run mex -setup c++. I get the following:
>>mex -setup cxx
Error using mex
No supported compiler or SDK was found. You can install the freely available
MinGW-w64 C/C++ compiler; see Install MinGW-w64 Compiler. For more options, see
http://www.mathworks.com/support/compilers/R2015b/win64.html.
Here's the full situation.
OS: Windows 10 Home
Compiler: Visual Studio 2013 (v120, up-to-date)
I confirmed that I can compile and run a program using this toolset.
MatLab version: 2015b
I was originally running Visual Studio 2015, and mex found the compiler just fine. However, I soon found out that Simulink is not compatible with VS 2015, so I had to roll back to VS 2013, and this is when my problem started.
I've tried, among many others, the following sites to find a solution:
The MatLab mex documentation - No help, only shows basic mex usage.
The MatLab supported compiler list - Confirmed that VC++ 2013 is compatable.
Then I went down a rabbit hole.
A very protracted mathworks.com answer that suggested other links. This led me to...
Another mathworks.com answer which sounds like my problem, and suggests patching my setup. Turns out that I don't have SDK 7.1 installed. So, I went to install, and got this error:
Some components could not be installed. Some Windows SDK components require the RTM .NET Framework 4...
This Stack Overflow question asks about this issue, and I hit the exact same issue Danilo Gadêlha had in regards to the .NET Framework already being installed.
I tried the top answer, and after removing every single reference to .NET framework of any version I could find, including those under "Windows Features", I still couldn't install.
I tried the next option, and even in safe mode, RegEdit wouldn't let me change the values suggested by the next answer, so that was a bust.
Lastly, I tried MandM's solution, which finally solved my chain of problems.
I think this was the root of my problem: when I uninstalled Visual Studio 2015 and installed Visual Studio 2013, an installation or registry setting was left in an incorrect state, and mex was unable to find Visual Studio 2013 as a result.
The solution that worked for me:
Leave Visual Studio 2013 installed.
As MandM answered:
Uninstall the following:
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable"
"Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable"
Before installing the Windows 7.1 SDK, and the install package reinstalls those two during installation.
As Robert Važan points out in the comments:
If error message persists despite this workaround, just click OK and proceed with installation. The installation will succeed this time..
I did get this error, but the install worked fine.
Install the SDK 7.1 Patch, which fixes the issue highlighted on this mathworks.com answer.

Installing Qt 5.5 on Windows 7

I would like to install latest version of Qt (5.5) on Windows 7 for C/C++ application development, and have a few questions:
Can I use Microsoft "Visual Studio Community" edition (2015) as the compiler?
I assume I need to install Visual studio first and then Qt?
I am going to install Qt from here, after downloading and installation do I need to build Qt? Or it is ready to go?
Is there a tutorial that explains all the required steps in details. I have done Google search and found bits and pieces here and there not not a good complete step-by-step reference.
Thanks for the help.
You need the compiler, which is integrated in visual studio. I don't think you can get the newer ones without Visual Studio (From official sources). However, you can use Qt on windows without msvc. You can build with the minGw compiler - but I personally like msvc more.
Regarding VS2015: It won't work without extra configuration. Qt 5.5 supports msvc2013 only (the next release, 5.6, will support the msvc2015 compiler). But Visual Studio 2013 will work. The order of installation doesn't matter.
After you installed Qt, all you need to do is launch Qt-Creator and start coding ;) If you wan't to use Visual Studio instead, there is a Plugin on the bottom of the download page ("Other downloads"). Visual Studio 2015 isn't supported here too, but 2013 is.

changing language on microsoft visual c++ 2010 express [duplicate]

recently i have installed MS Visual Studio 2010 Professional as an upgrade from 2005.
I wanted to use the english version but after installation it's german(2005 was english if that matters).
I tried to change it via Extras/Options/Environment/International Settings to "Same as Microsoft Windows"(what is english) and restarted IDE (and system) but the change was not applied at all. There are only two options: german and same as windows.
Facts:
MS Visual Studio 2010 professional(upgrade from 2005 Professional) german
OS is Windows XP(english)
german is default input language(control-panel/regional.../languages/details), changed but without any effect
Did i miss something in the setup of the installation or do i have to install a language-pack?
Edit:
i have tried Rob's suggestion to deinstall Visual Studio and all of its components, install the english .net 4.0 framework and reinstall Visual Studio, but unfortunately without the desired result. It is german again with no chance to switch to english. The installation routine seems to overwrite the framework and replaces it with the DEU-languagepack.
Is it really impossible to change the IDE language-settings without installing an english version first? Is it at least possible to get english error-messages from the framework?
By the way, am i the only person that wonders why i need an english version first to be able to switch languages? Why should i then order any other language than EN at all?
Thank you in advance.
It's possible.
Install your version (German). Once the installation is finished you can install the English trial version: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional Trial - Web Installer
Once the trial installation is finished you are able to switch languages in
Tools -> Options... -> Environment -> International Settings
You can even uninstall the german version through appwiz.cpl. Look for Visual Studio components with de or DEU endings.
It seems that the license is language independent.
You could try and do the following
Try to remove the VS2010 installation and the .NET framework installation. Then download the english version here. Install the English .NET framework and then install VS2010.
If that doesn't work then maybe the
two blogposts below will help. There
are tricks with startup parameters to
be able to use a certain language.
Blog 1 about how to use the LCID
parameter
Blog 2 with a list of available
language codes
Two other interresting blog posts from the same writer can be found here and here.
Install the English language pack over it and then open the file location where you have installed the visual studio and delete the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - DE folder leaving only Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU folder.
