+If you've already had one IDE and only need compiler and libraries,
+you could install Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools.

+Visual Studio 2017 provides both IDE and necessary compiler and libraries.

+* VC++ 2017 v141 toolset (x86,x64)
+* Windows Universal CRT SDK
+* Windows 8.1 SDK
+* C++/CLI support
