visualstudio2026-workload-vctools 1.0.0 Microsoft jberezanski false https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/license-terms/ https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ https://rawcdn.githack.com/jberezanski/ChocolateyPackages/0e962f3d7328af29a6382130db5f0b5239970a4d/icons/vs2026.png ### Overview This package adds the Visual C++ build tools workload to an existing installation of Visual Studio 2026 Build Tools. The list of components included in this workload is shown [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/workload-component-id-vs-build-tools?view=vs-2026#visual-c-build-tools). Visual Studio 2026 Build Tools must be installed first, for example using the Chocolatey package [visualstudio2026buildtools](https://chocolatey.org/packages/visualstudio2026buildtools). ### Customizations The package passes all package parameters to the Visual Studio installer, enabling full customization of the installation. The possible parameters are [described here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/use-command-line-parameters-to-install-visual-studio?view=vs-2026). The package passes `--norestart --includeRecommended` by default, and `--quiet`, unless `--passive` is specified in the package parameters. By default, the package installs components required by and recommended for the workload. Package parameters can be used to adjust this behavior: - `--no-includeRecommended` - Does not include the recommended components. - `--includeOptional` - Includes the optional components. Example 1. Installing the workload, including recommended, but not optional components: choco install visualstudio2026-workload-vctools --package-parameters "--includeRecommended" Example 2. Installing the workload, including all recommended and optional components: choco install visualstudio2026-workload-vctools --package-parameters "--includeOptional" Example 3. Installing the workload, including only required components: choco install visualstudio2026-workload-vctools --package-parameters "--no-includeRecommended" [More package parameter examples](https://github.com/jberezanski/ChocolateyPackages/blob/master/chocolatey-visualstudio.extension/EXAMPLES.md)

Build classic Windows-based applications using the power of the Visual C++ toolset, ATL, and optional features like MFC and C++/CLI.
