Ah I see. First open **Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017**. Then on that
command prompt, run **vccexe**
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" /C "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall && SET"
cl.exe
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.10.25019 for x86

usage: cl [ option... ] filename... [ /link linkoption... ]
Seems fine. Now the issue is to compile a [Hello world
program](https://nim-by-example.github.io/hello_world/). Calling **nim c -r
hello.nim** gives this:
