There are several similar questions here, but in case they are outdated, still let me ask.

I did

Needs["CCompilerDriver`"]

and then

CreateExecutable[
 StringJoin["int main(){\n", "  printf(\"Hello world.\\n\");\n", 
  "}\n"], "hiworld", 
 "Compiler" -> 
  CCompilerDriver`VisualStudioCompiler`VisualStudioCompiler, 
 "CompilerInstallation" -> 
  "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Preview", 
 "CompilerName" -> Automatic, "ShellOutputFunction" -> Print]

The output is this:

During evaluation of In[2]:= 
C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\Mathematica\SystemFiles\LibraryResources\Windows-x86-64\Working-asusi-3132-17180-1>call "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Preview\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" amd64

Indeed I checked that I don't have anywhere on my system files user32.lib, kernel32.lib or gdi32.lib, neither do I have user64.lib, kernel64.lib, gdi64.lib or user.lib, kernel.lib or gdi.lib.

What's wrong and how to fix it?

    $\begingroup$ Sounds like you didn't select a Windows SDK as part Visual Studio's installation. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 31, 2024 at 21:52
