help

At my new Windows 10 machine, I installed Microsoft Build Tools 2015 and Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 but still can not run the rust app, and telling me the build tool is required!

Run cargo from the dev shell for the build tools and I believe it should work.

Run your ide from that shell to get the correct environment. It's a bit of a pain but :woman_shrugging: once you get into the rhythm of it all it stops being very annoying.

I got the below error, is it related or something else?

I just set up a new computer with VS2017, and it worked for me.

Just to double check, do you have all of these checkboxes checked?

Thanks.
Actually I installed initially Visual C++ ALT ... and Visual C++ MFC ... as well as MS Build 2015.

Now I installed Windows 10 SDK and Visual C++ tools and it is working correctly.

Thanks

The ATL is useful if you want to work on rustc itself; I believe you need it as well. Glad you got it going!

EDIT: I see you got it sorted. Ignore the question. :smiley:

Looks like you're using the 32-bit linker. Is your rust setup for 64-bit?
