 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.
-=== Download Visual Studio 2015 ===
+=== Download Visual Studio 2022 ===
-Unfortunately, Microsoft has made it somewhat annoying to download VS 2015 legitimately:
+Zandronum requires the Visual Studio 2015 toolchain to be built. Microsoft no longer offers 2015 for (easy) download, but forunately, modern versions of Visual Studio can use older toochains.
-* 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]
+<ol>
-* Locate and download '''Visual Studio Community 2015 with Update 3'''
+<li>Download [https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ Visual Studio 2022 Community].</li>
-* 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.
+<li>In the installer, select the '''Desktop development with C++''' module.
+[[File:Vs2022 cppdevel.png|none]]</li>
+<li>On the right-hand pane, under the '''Desktop development with C++''' section, select the '''MSVC v140 - VS 2015 C++ build tools (v14.00)''' component.
