Only minor correction: you can get eight via just the standard installer - build tools 2017 is not rare at all; while express (yes, "expressly" discontinued after 2017) is quite hard to find, and you can't get at it through the standard VS installer - until you actually have it installed, then the installed VS 2017 installer will let you manipulate it, but it's invisible otherwise. > It is possible to specify the 2015 toolset (14.0) via MSVC 2017 and MSVC > 2019 as well. the installation policy seems to be you get one toolset version from the previous major release, only. I don't "know" this (as I've read no doc or anything), deducing this from looking at my one machine with a bunch of different VCs installed: the 2017 VS Installer offers me "2015.3 v14.00" v140 toolset, along with v141 14.11 through 14.16. The 2019 VS installer offers me v141 14.16, along with v142 14.20 through 14.27 - note no toolset for 2015 here. all this is probably getting down to "more than anyone wants to know" :) _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list Scons-dev@scons.org https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
