Is it possible to apply fixes in Visual C ++ Build Tools 2015 Update 3

Visual Studio 2015u3 is supported by cumulative updates with KB3165756, which contains, among other things, fixes for the compiler and C ++ libraries.

However, KB3165756 refuses to do anything on the computer where the Visual C ++ 2015 Update 3 update tools are installed. It really wants one of VS Pro, Enterprise, Community or Express.

Are there special fixes for Visual C ++ Build Tools or not updated at all, and so is it actually better to switch to Visual Studio Express 2015 for the desktop in order to be able to receive corrections?

Here is the answer I got in MSDN Visual Studio Development> Visual Studio Installation and Installation Forum:

However, KB3165756 refuses to do anything on the computer where the Visual C ++ 2015 Update 3 update tools are installed. It really wants one of VS Pro, Enterprise, Community or Express.

This is reasonable, check this out: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt752379.aspx and this description applies to

  • Visual Studio Professional 2015
  • Visual Studio Enterprise 2015
  • Visual Studio 2015 Community
  • Visual Studio Express 2015 for the Web
  • Visual Studio Express 2015 for desktop
  • Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows 10

I researched around and it seems like there is no special update for Visual C ++ Build Tools 2015 and refer to this blog: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/11/02/announcing-visual-c -build-tools-2015-standalone-c-tools-for-build-environments /

The latest version of Visual C ++ Build Tools 2015 is here: Download Visual C ++ Build Tools 2015

If you still want to install, it looks like you need the RT 2015 update version for RTM on your computer. Since the VS 2015 community with version 2 update and Visual Studio Express version is free, you can think about it.

Yours faithfully,
