hello there!

I've installed visual Studio Build tools in order to use the C/C++ compiler only but now I need the GUI of Visual Studio. Do I need to install the full Visual Studio again or I can download the GUI IDE of Visual studio and configure Build tools with that.

Please help me.

    Please try to install the full Visual Studio like Visual Studio 2019, they can work side by side.
