A return of experience from the installation on Window from a newbie.
With my student, working on Windows, which I never use, we have installed the latest version (6.22.06), following the instructions on:
Installing ROOT - ROOT
We lost quite some time figuring out we also had to install in Visual Studio additional stuff (I assumed the development tools were included with CMake).
Can you add the following instructions in installation page or in Dependencies - ROOT ?
(In VS, go 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.
