Where is the Microsoft Visual Studio Community exe

Question

I just installed it but I don't know where it is. Can anyone help me? I've looked in a lot of places but I still don't know.

Answer 1

For VS2019 it's now at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

Answer 2

Look for devenv.exe, it should be at:

Visual Studio Community 2015

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE

Visual Studio Community 2017

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE

Visual Studio Professional 2017

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE

Answer 3

I would say instead of looking at a predefined location for the installation which might change in future what you should do is as follows -

1. Search for visual studio in apps search
2. Right click and select "Open file location"
3. Once you have this shortcut, Right click on it and select and open properties and see the target field. This is your executable path.

For me it is -

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
