It contains references to three different versions of Visual Studio: Visual Studio 2010 Express edition Visual Studio 2012 Express edition Visual Studio 2013 Express edition The "Microsoft Visual Studio/C++ Express" download link contains a link to download Visual Studio Community 2015, which will only build base-3.14.12.5 if you know/remember to apply a patch from the known problems page. If you succeed at building base, you'll encounter more problems when you try to build other EPICS modules. The web page should recommend Visual Studio 2010. This is the version the jenkins build server currently uses to build EPICS base. My understanding is that it is also the version that is used to compile the prebuild areaDetector support. Kevin
