Rust and Windows

When installed on the Windows platform, Rust requires the Microsoft C++ Build Tools from a recent version of Microsoft Visual Studio. Linux developers are fortunate and can simply skip this step. If Visual Studio is installed, you may already have the Build Tools. The availability of these tools can be confirmed with the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.

If necessary, follow the instructions here to install the Visual C++ Build Tools:

You are now ready to install the Rust language.
