Hello,
In order to use U++ you do not need to launch Visual Studio. Installation with C++ components is sufficient. After that you should launch TheIDE and use auto-setup for MSVC detection. Also, we bundle Clang compiler with standard Windows distribution, so possessing Visual Studio is optional.
What is your current operating system and what is the reason why you do not want to update your OS?
