We are >calling Visual Studio 2017 VC15, but what is the ground for that? Is it just an abbreviation for Visual C/C++, version 15? Then we are at VC15.1 right now: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2017-relnotes Excerpt from the 'About' in the VS2017 IDE: >Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017 >Version 15.1 (26403.7) Release >VisualStudio.15.Release/15.1.0+26403.7 > >Visual C++ 2017 00369-60000-00001-AA847 >Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Visual Studio says it is version 15.1, but Visual C/C++ and C# use the '2017' as denominator. VS15 and VC2017 come to mind. Visual Studio 15, Visual C/C++ 2017 and toolset v141. Confusing all over. Even the development team suffered by it.
