A Novice’s Installation Experience on Windows.
While collaborating with my student on a Windows system, which I am not accustomed to, we successfully installed the latest version (6.22.06) following the instructions provided in:
Installing ROOT - ROOT
However, we encountered a delay in realizing that additional components needed to be installed in Visual Studio (I had assumed that the development tools were included with CMake).
I suggest incorporating the following instructions into the installation page or Dependencies - ROOT 2:
(In Visual Studio, navigate to the Tools menu => Get Tools and Features => Install the Desktop Development With C++ workload)
[found on msbuild - vcvarsall.bat missing after installing Visual Studio 2019 - Stack Overflow]
Best regards,
Vincent.

Please also fill in the fields below. Note that root -b -q
will provide you with this information, and starting from version 6.28/06 upwards, you can call .forum bug
from the ROOT prompt to pre-populate a topic.
ROOT Version: root6
