First, open the solution file <code>devtools\create_project\msvc\create_project.sln</code>. Then simply build the solution. The project file should automatically assure that the resulting <code>create_project.exe</code> is copied to <code>dists\msvc\</code>.
First, open the solution file <code>devtools\create_project\msvc\create_project.sln</code> (either from the File Explorer or from the File > Open project/solution menu). Then simply build the solution, with Build > Build solution. If this doesn't work, make sure that the Visual Studio C++ tools have been properly set up, as [[#Visual_Studio|explained above]].
