 When installing Visual Studio 2017 or later, make sure to select the "Desktop Development with C++" workload.
-We do support older versions of Visual Studio too. However, on this page we focus on building ScummVM with latest Visual Studio. Building ScummVM with versions older Visual Studio 2008 can require additional work which is not described here.

 === Needed Libraries ===
-ScummVM relies on third-party libraries to implement certain functionality. Some of these libraries are required, like for example SDL, others are optional, like for example libtheora. We supply a set of prebuilt libraries for Visual Studio 2015 and later. These have been build on Windows 8.1 using the Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. The libraries can be found [http://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/build/scummvm_libs_2015.zip here].

-The easiest way to make Visual Studio find the supplied libraries is by using the environment variable "SCUMMVM_LIBS". We describe this method now.
+The easiest way to make Visual Studio find the supplied libraries is by using the environment variable "SCUMMVM_LIBS". You can set it by performing the following steps:
-To make it work you have to follow these steps:
+* Unzip the library zip to a directory of your choice, for example "C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\scummvm_libs_2015".
-* Unzip the library zip to a directory of your choice. For example, you can unzip them into "C:\Users\YourUsername\Documents\scummvm_libs_2015".
 * Go to Start Menu > Control Panel > System > Advanced Settings > Environment Variables and add a new variable "SCUMMVM_LIBS" with a value of the path you extracted the zip in. It is important that you do point the variable to the folder containing the "bin", "include", and "lib" directories.
