Compiler Setup

vsTASKER needs a compiler to produce the simulation engine.

Visual Studio compiler is the default supported one.
Libraries from vc90 to vc110 are provided. According to the Visual Studio version chosen, vsTASKER will link against the proper libraries.

How to get Visual Studio

You can use Visual Express 2008 or 2010 to start. This environment is much faster and has a lower memory footprint than the newer versions of Studio.

Nevertheless, with Express, you will need to install the SDK on top of it if not provided.

Demo Version

The demo/free version provides Visual Express 2010. Installation is proposed during full install.
You can manually install it from the Installation window panel or, once product installed, opening one of the following files:

Tools/VCExpress/setup_web.exe
Tools/VCExpress/autorun.exe
