  • XLL+ for Visual Studio 2015 - 7.0.7

Problem

XLL+ for Visual Studio 2015 will not install. I get an error message "This product requires Microsoft Visual Studio 2015.".

Answer

Check whether you have installed the C/C++ components of Visual Studio 2015. These are not installed by default - you have to select them yourself during the Visual Studio installation.

See Setup Changes in Visual Studio 2015 Affecting C++ Developers at the Visual C++ Team Blog for more details.
