------------
* Microsoft Visual C++ (aka Visual Studio), either 2013 or 2012 versions
- Free, "Express" editions may be used, so long as they include support for
either "Windows Store" or "Windows Phone" apps. Versions marked as
supporting "Windows Desktop" development typically do not include support
for creating WinRT apps.
- Visual C++ 2012 can only build apps that target versions 8.0 of Windows, or
Windows Phone. 8.0-targetted apps will still run on devices running
8.1 editions of Windows, however they will not be able to take advantage of
- Free, "Community" or "Express" editions may be used, so long as they
include support for either "Windows Store" or "Windows Phone" apps.
"Express" versions marked as supporting "Windows Desktop" development
typically do not include support for creating WinRT apps, to note.
(The "Community" edition of Visual C++ 2013 does, however, support both
desktop/Win32 and WinRT development).
- Visual C++ 2012 can only build apps that target versions 8.0 of Windows,
or Windows Phone. 8.0-targetted apps will run on devices running 8.1
editions of Windows, however they will not be able to take advantage of
8.1-specific features.
- Visual C++ 2013 can only create app projects that target 8.1 versions
of Windows, which do NOT run on 8.0 devices. An optional Visual Studio
add-in, "Tools for Maintaining Store apps for Windows 8", allows projects
that are created with Visual C++ 2012, which can create Windows 8.0 apps,
to be loaded and built with non-Express editions of Visual C++ 2013. More
details on targeting different versions of Windows can found at the
following web pages:
- Visual C++ 2013 cannot create app projects that target Windows 8.0.
Visual C++ 2013 Update 4, can create app projects for Windows Phone 8.0,
Windows Phone 8.1, and Windows 8.1, but not Windows 8.0. An optional
Visual Studio add-in, "Tools for Maintaining Store apps for Windows 8",
allows Visual C++ 2013 to load and build Windows 8.0 projects that were
created with Visual C++ 2012, so long as Visual C++ 2012 is installed
on the same machine. More details on targeting different versions of
Windows can found at the following web pages:
