Flutter Visual Studio - develop for Windows

Question

There is a warning when I use flutter doctor : Visual Studio - develop for Windows X Visual Studio not installed; this is necessary for Windows development. Download at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/. Please install the "Desktop development with C++" workload, including all of its default components

What does it mean ? i didnt find the installation component !

Solution

It's basically saying that if you want to develop your flutter app for windows you will need to install Visual Studio 2022 and while installing Visual Studio 2022 you will need to download this: Desktop development with C++

Also you have to install the third link in this: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

You could also get Desktop development with C++ tool after installing visual studio and then navigating to tool -> Get tools and features -> Desktop development with C++
