== I have Visual Studio on my machine, but EiffelStudio cannot find it ==
Here is a summary of steps to make sure C code compiles using Visual Studio 2017 in 64-bit mode on 64-bit Windows 10:
# Cleanup all projects by removing EIFGENs
directories (including those in precompiles).
# Setup Visual Studio 2017 environment in 64-bit mode by running
#:...\vsdevcmd.bat -arch=amd64
# Setup EiffelStudio environment by running (most probably, this step is unnecessary if using GUI only)
#:...\esvars.bat
# Tell EiffelStudio to use Visual Studio 2017-compatible libraries
#:set ISE_C_COMPILER=msc_vc140
# Launch EiffelStudio from the command prompt:
#:estudio
