Visual Studio 2013 Portable

Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 (ver12)
Drop-in portable MASM and C/C++ compiler

Complete includes, libs, atl/mfc and Windows SDK 7.1A
Command line compiler only, NO IDE, Debug Library stripped out.

Usage:
Just pick and extract .7z archives somewhere on your disk,
you might not want to use them all, here's the precedence
(for instance, if you just need masm, extract only v12_asm):
vs12_asm
vs12_cpp
vs12_crt vs12_inc vs12_lib
vs12_sdk
vs12_mfc
vs12_lib64 vs12_mfc64
vs12_libarm

Setup C/C++ environment (search path / includes / library)
To make it easier, create a batch file such as below:


:: root folder
@set vs12=x:\\vs12

:: shorten the path
@pushd %vs12%
@mklink /d mfc atlmfc
@mklink /d sdk "Microsoft SDKs\\Windows\\v7.1A"
@popd

:: for arm
@set LIB=%vs12%\\lib\\arm;%vs12%\\sdk\\lib;%vs12%\\mfc\\lib\\arm

:: for x64
@set LIB=%vs12%\\lib\\amd64;%vs12%\\sdk\\lib\\x64;%vs12%\\mfc\\lib\\amd64

:: for x86
@set LIB=%vs12%\\lib;%vs12%\\sdk\\lib;%vs12%\\mfc\\lib

:: insert into search path
@set PATH=%vs12%\\bin;%vs12%\\bin\\x86_amd64;%vs12%\\bin\\x86_arm;%PATH%
@set INCLUDE=%vs12%\\include;%vs12%\\sdk\\include;%vs12%\\mfc\\include


notes:
7z ver20 -snl (save/restore symlink) apparently still
not work well yet, symlink to resource folder ..\\1033
in bin\\x86_amd64 and bin\\x86_arm must be manually fixed.

Type: "rd 1033 & mklink /d 1033 ..\\1033" under those folders.
