You will require Visual Studio to compile Zandronum.
You will require Visual Studio to compile Zandronum. Officially, Zandronum is built with Visual Studio 2015, but people have had success building it with newer versions.
In this guide, Visual Studio 2013 will be used, however it is recommended Visual Studio 2015 is used instead (the instructions are the same).
 
=== Download Visual Studio 2015 ===
Unfortunately, Microsoft has made it somewhat annoying to download VS 2015 legitimately:
* Firstly you will need to be signed up to the [https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/dev-essentials/ Visual Studio Dev Essentials] program; this requires a Microsoft account.
* Once you logged into your Microsoft account and signed up for Dev Essentials, head to the Downloads page on my.visualstudio.com and search for [https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=Visual%20Studio%202015 Visual Studio 2015]
* Locate and download '''Visual Studio Community 2015 with Update 3'''
* This download is only available in ISO format; you can mount it as a virtual disc in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 by opening the ISO with File Explorer.
