At a minimum you'd better try WinSDK first, there should be all necessary tools. After all it is system's development kit, not some fancy junk.
The Windows SDK hasn't included compilers since Windows 7.Visual C++ is available as a NuGet package, which is just a .zip file. The 2017 version is ~650MB: https://www.nuget.org/packages/VisualCppTools.Community.VS2017Layout/
Unfortunately, it doesn't include the SDK headers or libs. Bob
