We are looking for the URL to download a small Visual Studio Community version and our dear Felix has found this. Thank you!
This is a very simple cmd batch file to build it from a standard MSVC installed files.

Now, as fas as I remember, does Microsoft also provides this (or not?)

Do someone remember the Microsoft URL for this ? many thanks

Dear Antonio,

Can I adapt MSVC to use with UEStudio script file?
if so, it will more easy to move.

You can get the command-line tools using the following steps:

Visit Downloads | IDE, Code, & Team Foundation Server | Visual Studio.

Expand Tools for Visual Studio 2019.

Click the Download button next to Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019.

Run the downloaded installer.

In the installer, check the box C++ Build Tools, and click Install.

When the installation has completed, you will see an option to Start Visual Studio Now with a Launch button. This is a bit misleading, because you don’t have Visual Studio, but click Launch anyway.

You’ll see a command prompt window entitled Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019. This has the paths, etc. set up for building. From here you can invoke the compiler from the command line. See this link for a brief walkthrough.

Later on, to get back to this command prompt, search/run Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019.

Dear Dutch,

We don't use UEStudio anymore.
We use Microsoft vscode sometimes and Visual Studio IDE to use its great tools.

Now I am a big fan of Harbour's hbmk2 which it is very powerfull and so simple.

You could modify your UEStudio settings so it just calls hbmk2 yourapp.hbp
