Minimal Windows 10 SDK

Installs only the necessary Windows 10 .lib files to save you having to download the full Visual Studio package. You can either download the zip file or the installer.

How to Install

First Visual Studio needs to be installed, but not as much as usual. Using powershell:

> Invoke-WebRequest https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vs_buildtools.exe -OutFile vs_buildtools.exe
> .\vs_buildtools --add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.Tools.x86.x64 --add Microsoft.Component.VC.Runtime.UCRTSDK

This will install the Visual Studio package manager then open up the GUI installer. You can click straight on install. All the necessary components are already selected.

Wait for that to finish then run this installer. Alternatively, see Manually Install Only the Libs.

> Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/ChrisDenton/minwinsdk/releases/download/0.0.1/minwinsdk.exe  -OutFile minwinsdk.exe
> .\minwinsdk

If all goes well you should finally be able to install rustup

> Invoke-WebRequest https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe -OutFile rustup-init.exe
> .\rustup-init -y --default-host x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Manually Install Only the Libs

Download Minimal.Windows.SDK.zip and unzip it somewhere nice. You may want to set the LIB environment variable for your default target.

Using the libs

If you used the installer or manually set the LIB environment variable then it should "just work" for the default target. If using another target you may need to set the library search path appropriately. You can do this globally in your cargo configuration file. By default it's located at %USERPROFILE%\.cargo\config.toml but you might need to create it.

Add this to the config (replacing path\to\libs with the folder the libs are in):

[target.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
rustflags = [ "-L", "path\to\libs\x64"]

[target.i686-pc-windows-msvc]
rustflags = [ "-L", "path\to\libs\x86"]

[target.aarch64-pc-windows-msvc]
rustflags = [ "-L", "path\to\libs\arm64"]

[target.thumbv7a-pc-windows-msvc]
rustflags = [ "-L", "path\to\libs\arm"]

Limitations

I have not yet tested that all the imports work.
These libs do not (yet?) include ucrt.lib.
I only provide an x86_64 installer. There's no inherent reason for this, it's just that I'm being lazy.
I wrote this in a very short space of time so this should be considered alpha quality software (if we're being very generous). Honestly it's probably better to just download the zip file and install the libs manually. That way you'll avoid any scary warnings berating you for downloading software from the internet. Which you should never do. 👀

The future

This should become obsolete once Rust has raw-dylibs.

Rust is installed now. Great!

To get started you may need to restart your current shell.
This would reload its PATH environment variable to include
Cargo's bin directory (%USERPROFILE%\.cargo\bin).

I downloaded this folder:

I created config.toml here: C:\Users\8Observer8\.cargo

[target.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
rustflags = [ "-L", "E:\Program Files (installed)\Minimal Windows SDK\libs\x64"]

Visual Studio Build Tools are installed:

main.rs

fn main() {
    println!("Hello Rust!");
}

error: aborting due to 1 previous error

I tried to use the installer too: https://github.com/ChrisDenton/minwinsdk/releases/download/0.0.1/minwinsdk.exe The "LIB" and another variable was added to the environment variables.

But when I installed these packages, the problem was disappeared:
