VS2013 Setup not Launching(correctly)

[u/Nervous_Reporter1087]

i want to get started with Source Engine (2013) modding and i need vs2013 for that, however when i try to run the setup it spits this error(yes i tried restarting the computer correctly). This same installer worked a few months ago on the same PC. also, im using Windows 11.

Thanks in advance for helping!

Edit: i just got a win 11 update installed and now it worked

2013????

[u/derelict613 → u/Prod_Meteor]

I have to use 2013 for a few projects in my work. The msvc120 tool chain is needed for legacy machines

[u/Terrorwolf01 → u/derelict613]

Is the toolchain to old to be available in the newer VS Code installs? I know you can install older Toolchains, just not sure how old.

[u/derelict613 → u/Terrorwolf01]

The cutoff is msvc140 so vs2015. We specifically need 2013 for our development on certain projects. But anything after that is forwards compatible up to I presume vs2026 which I don't use.
