Can I use a Visual C ++ compiler without Visual Studio?

Is there a way that I can use Visual C or Visual C ++ compilers from the command line without installing visual studio?

I have tried this before and I could not find it. Search for help.

Yes, you can, for example, the Windows SDK comes with a Visual C ++ compiler, but it does not contain Visual Studio, a quick search found this msdn page .

LE is a "brilliant" solution from Microsoft: it seems that the newer Windows SDK does not come with compilers, so you need to install Visual Studio to have something to use from the command line.
