Description
We recently found [C++ build tools installer for Windows using npm](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows-build-tools). Does this mean it may be possible to setup dev enrivonment for Windows Phone without requesting Visual Studio installation?

It's possible we may be able to install the pieces without Visual Studio. This seems to install the C++ build tools and python. We'd also need the SDKs/emulators
It may be useful to open a ticket looking into this. I see we can get the Windows Standalone SDK for Win 10 here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=698771
And emulator here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=698769
That'd be waaaay easier/faster if we could just grab these exes and run them for the user and it magically worked.... Visual Studio install is a pain in the ass. Of course it'd highlight the issues in setting up Win 10 emulators for dev mode that VS magically does for you.
