Can confirm, have had good luck with community editions of Visual Studio under Unreal Game Engine. So *should* be fine for C/CPP development unlike much older VS express versions in days gone by (which omitted a C/CPP compiler by default). The only gotcha I can see might be the additional telemetry/diagnostic/metadata info embedded in executables, which may or may not be a problem depending on contexts, project and user.

That's COOL! "Only *one* concern I have." - as Master Yoda would say - ... Do I need to buy a full version of *Visual Studio 2017 *to be able to compile BOINC and to use Vcpkg ? ( or will the "Express" version be enough ? ) Namaste Filip P.S. I also hope it *WILL* compile on *AMD Ryzen 1800X CPU, o*therwise I am in trouble...... 2017-06-05 8:02 GMT+02:00 Rom Walton <[email protected]>: > Howdy Folks, > > It has been awhile.
