I have received a couple questions about "How do you build C++ projects in Windows without installing Visual Studio?". This video demonstrates the process but to explain it in a couple short steps: Download and Install the Windows SDK*

run "msbuild <projectname>.vcxproj *Make sure that you check to enable the Windows Native Code Development section on the installer.** Although it is not a best practice, I elevated my priviledges for the command prompt when I did the demo because I wanted to show that projects build right out of the SDK.
