From this Microsoft web page...




The Windows SDK no longer ships with a complete command-line build environment. You must install a compiler and build environment separately.




Translating that from Microsoft-ese to English, that means "We would really love it if you would just buy Visual Studio 2013 now."



In recent years, Microsoft has moved away from the command prompt and Win32 development in favor of PowerShell and .NET.

  • As the article states, you would have to install some other build environment. There are numerous free and paid ones, depending on what language you code in. Since the SDK is just a set of headers and libraries, it shouldn't be too difficult to integrate it into whatever IDE you choose.
