Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We present time and efforts preserving way for quick installing Microsoft C/C++ compiler and tools for building Microsoft Visual Studio projects and solutions without installation of Microsoft Visual Studio. It is important to notice that no administrative privileges needed for doing it and low-powered computer can be used. This suite can be used directly from removable media such as flash sticks or USB HDD/SSD devices. Also, single-file C++ projects, as well as Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM 32/64) source files can be handled. This is very convenient for users such as computer scientists who are not professional programmers, but nevertheless actively use computers in their work, and who cannot spend a lot of time installing and configuring complex software.
