# setup-msvc-dev
[](https://github.com/TheMrMilchmann/setup-msvc-dev/blob/master/LICENSE)
A [GitHub Action](https://github.com/features/actions) to set up a Developer
Command Prompt for Microsoft Visual C++.
This project was forked from https://github.com/ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd to support
additional use-cases and to experiment further with GitHub Actions.
## Usage
### Basic Usage
```yaml
steps:
- uses: TheMrMilchmann/setup-msvc-dev@v4
with:
arch: x64
```
### Inputs
- `arch` – target architecture (required if at least one is set: `sdk`,
`toolselt`, `uwp`, `spectre`)
- native compilation:
- `x64`
- `x86`
- cross-compilation: `x86_amd64`, `x86_arm`, `x86_arm64`, `amd64_x86`,
`amd64_arm`, `amd64_arm64`
- Check [the Microsoft documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/building-on-the-command-line)
for all possible options
- `vs-path` – the path to the Visual Studio installation
- do not specify to use the latest installation
- `sdk` – Windows SDK to use
- do not specify to use the default SDK
- or specify full Windows 10 SDK number (e.g. `10.0.10240.0`)
- or write `8.1` to use Windows 8.1 SDK
- `toolset` – select a VC++ compiler toolset
- do not specify to use the default toolset
- `14.0` for VC++ 2015 Compiler Toolset
- `14.XX` for the latest 14.XX toolset installed (e.g. `14.11`)
- `14.XX.YYYY` for a specific full version number (e.g. `14.11.25503`)
- `uwp` – set to `true` to build for Universal Windows Platform (i.e., for Windows Store)
- `spectre` – set to `true` to use Visual Studio libraries with spectre mitigations
- `export-path-to-vcvarsall` – the environment variable to store the path to
vcvarsall.bat in
- `export-path-to-vs` – the environment variable to store the path to the Visual
Studio installation in
### Versioning
This action is strictly following [SemVer 2.0.0](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
Thus, it is recommended to pin the action against specific MAJOR version. This
can be achieved by using the `v${MAJOR}` branch.
To get an overview about the action's versions, see the [changelog](docs/changelog/README.md).
