Bug ID: 156708
Summary: Automate installing and checking for individual
components of Visual Studio on Windows
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
One of the reasons that some people fail to build LibreOffice on Windows is the
lack of individual Visual Studio components. They have to be installed manually
in a tedious task, which is also error prone.
On the other hand, it is possible to do it automatically, and (possibly) query
the installed components.

How to automate (from command-line) the installation of a Visual Studio Build
Tools build environment, for C++, .NET, C#, etc

There are 2 tasks here: To automate installing and checking for individual
components of Visual Studio on Windows:
1. Install: The required components should be installed with a script. Even a
separate script can be OK in my opinion.
2. Check: The installed components should be checked during the configuration
phase, and if something is missing, the user should be asked to run the script
added for #1.
