At the moment **Incari** relies on the Windows SDK that comes with [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/#visual-studio-2019-and-other-products) (free version). So the user also needs to install the Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition (Desktop Development C++ setup), start it once and create a profile.
