Is there a stand-alone VC++ compiler available for Windows? Even a CLI compiler is fine.
Since I'm using Windows in Virtualbox, Visual Studio is horribly slow due to insufficient memory.

The C/C++ compiler in Visual Studio is and always has been Microsoft C++ Compiler, built by Microsoft (not based on anything else.) In VS2015, the compiler can target x86 and x64, as well as ARM. It supports almost all of C++11 and C99, and a large part of C++14, plus a little bit of the C++17 (or whenever) draft.
You can install the C/C++ extension by searching for 'c++' in the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X). Install the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler toolset. If you have a recent version of Visual Studio, open the Visual Studio Installer from the Windows Start menu and verify that the C++ workload is checked.
Visual C++ 2017 Community: A free Windows C++ compiler by Microsoft.
Microsoft Visual Studio is a good compiler for developing Windows applications. Although Visual Studio presents a ton of choices to the user when first starting out (for instance, there are a lot of different project types), the amount of choice gives a good idea of the overall scope of this tool.
Now there is Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools.
Custom install and unselect all SDKs for a 1GB cross platform "minimal" environment.
It can be reduced to ~300MB if you delete everything non x86 after installation.
