I have a problem with Visual Studio 2015 Express that it seems to be missing files needed to setup the environment for a 64 bit compilation.
I have installed both Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows 10 and Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015 for Windows Desktop. Now when I call the vcvarsall.bat with the option amd64 to setup the environment for a 64bit compilation I get the error message:
"The specified configuration type is missing. The tools for the configuration might not be installed."
I check in my installations folder and I have vcvarsall.bat in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC but I'm missing vcvars64.bat in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64 which seems to be required. What am I missing?

Finally, I got a message saying "Error 1714.The older version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 x64 Minimum Runtime - 14.0.24215 cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."
The application icon will no longer be in the Visual Studio 2015 folder. If you still can not find Visual Studio after a successful installation, open File Explorer, and then navigate to the following path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable includes bug fixes to the runtime DLLs and also the latest versions for KB 2999226. This package installs run-time components of Visual C++ libraries and can be used to run such applications on a computer even if it does not have Visual Studio 2017 installed.
This article helps you resolve the issue where Microsoft Visual Studio icon is not visible on the Start menu. The Visual Studio icon no longer appears on the Start menu. Although your Visual Studio installation is not corrupted, you find that the Visual Studio 2015 application icon is moved out of the Visual Studio 2015 installation folder.
Visual Studio Express editions do not include the x64 toolset.

If you only need the 64 bit compiler I recommend to install the Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools. However, you can't install it together with Visual Studio 2015 Express.
