1.1 Install Visual Studio Build Tools
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`Download and install the Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022
<https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2022>`_.
If you have a full install of Visual Studio (Community/Professional/Enterprise),
that is also supported.
Ensure you've checked the following items for installation:
- In the Workloads tab:
- Desktop development with C++.
- In the Individual components tab:
- MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools.
- Windows 10 SDK (at least **10.0.19041.0**).
- C++ ATL for v143 build tools (x86 and x64).
.. note::
The recommended Visual Studio version and components has recently changed. If you run
into unexpected build errors, you should `report a bug
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox%20Build%20System&component=General>`_
or ask about it in the ``#build`` Matrix channel - the solution may be to downgrade back to
`Visual Studio 2019 <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-ca/visualstudio/releases/2019/release-notes>`_.
