I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 on my Mac recently, hoping to use it to program in C++. It appeared to install correctly, no errors occurred, but it seems to be missing support for C++. It will only allow me to make projects using C# and F#; I don't see C++ anywhere.

Searching around, many people suggest opening up the Visual Studio Installer and add 'C++ Tools' to VS. However, when I open up the visual studio installer, I only see the necessary packages to develop in Android, IOS, .NET, MacOS, and Xamarin.

Mar 20, 2016  Run the Office setup again and choose the 'Customize' option (about 3rd dialogue window into the routine). Scroll down and look for the VBA option and select it (it should say install), make sure everything else is unticked (skipped).

A message will be displayed giving you the opportunity to carry on, stop or open the VB Editor in debug mode. Jun 28, 2018  Thanks everyone for your help. I found that if I navigate to the Excel icon at the bottom I can right click and quit. This will stop the macro but give me a chance to save my changes.

When you install Visual Studio 2015, use Custom installation and make sure you select 'Visual C++' and 'Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015'.Don't use 'Typical' installation. The reason is that if you choose 'Typical', then you can't use Visual Studio to develop in C++. How to Run Visual Studio on a Mac Visual Studio doesn’t run natively on OS X, so my first step was to get Windows running on my MacBook Pro. (If you want an editor that does run natively, Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio Code might fit the bill). Some web searches revealed people saying to open up the visual studio installer and add the 'C++ tools.' However, in the visual studio installer, I only see the necessary packages to develop in Android, IOS,.NET, MacOS, and Xamarin. Edit Article How to Create a Program in C Sharp.

As @Saad stated, there is no support for C++ on Visual Studio 2017 for macOS.

If you want to program in C++ in macOS, you can go with Xcode.
