<p>Can that CTP be installed side-by-side with VC++ 2013. I mean
does it override C++ compiler that is part of VS 2013
installation?</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/330546002014-05-20T19:28:28Z2014-05-20T19:28:28ZC++11 support / Visual C++ 2013 CTP<div><p>I'm not sure - I've not yet started running this version locally

<p>@Feodor No it wouldn't override the default compiler, it would
be an additional compiler:<br>
See "Instructions" at the official Download:<br>

<p>@Dane Probably we could include the download and install of the
CTP into the build processs.<br>
Maybe via Web Platform Installer or manually.<br>
It's only 33MB.<br>
Although I'm not sure, if gyp is able to create a solution file
that is compatible with the instructions mentioned above.</p>

<p>Thanks for your notes! This is good the update could be
installed side-by-side.</p>

confirmed that the install is totally separate. And then I also
confirmed that my code compiles with it, just as I hoped.</p>
<p>Feodor: would it be possible to include this extra compiler
toolchain by default soon? I've got a number of projects that will
be moving to c++11 so this would be really nice to have.</p>
<p>Btw, it is easy to ask msbuild to use this alternative compiler
simply by setting a custom <code>Platform Toolset</code> in the
project file.</p></div>danetag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/330546002014-05-22T23:37:36Z2014-05-22T23:37:36ZC++11 support / Visual C++ 2013 CTP<div><p>Not sure about making it a default choice, but we can install
this update to build machines, so you can tweak your project file
to use it.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/330546002014-05-22T23:41:11Z2014-05-22T23:41:11ZC++11 support / Visual C++ 2013 CTP<div><p>Exactly: I don't think it should be default. As long as it is
installed users that need this toolchain can simply tweak their
project file. For reference: I'm using GYP to generate visual
studio projects and the only tweak I needed was this line: <a href=

I'm still doing okay with the 2013 CTP update at this point, but I
could see needing this in the future. For now I will close this
issue however.</p></div>dane
