I need to install VS2017. I searched Visual Studio 2017 installer and found this Visual Studio Older Downloads - 2019, 2017, 2015 on which I got VC_redist.x64.exe. I don't think it's the VS2017 installer.

Then I downloaded the latest VS installer VisualStudioSetup.exe via which I can install VS2017 partly

By partly, I mean I can build C++ console project with the 2017 compiler, but failed for a just created MFC project. I tested it with VS2022 compiler, it worked, only failed with VS2017.

Then, how can I install VS2017 fully?

• c++
• visual-studio-2017

• 5 Under "SDKs, libraries, and frameworks", did you select to install the "C++ MFC for v141 build tools (x86 & x64)" individual component? The toolset version for VS2017 is different from VS2022 (v141 vs v143), so you have to select the correct one there. – heap underrun Commented Mar 17 at 4:45
