title: Is it possible to build application with just Windows SDK 8 and .Net 4.5 installed?
body: <p>I had downloaded and installed <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/apps/hh852363" rel="nofollow">Windows 8 SDK</a>. But, in the documentation below in the same download page I found the following note:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Command-line Build Environment</strong> The Windows SDK no longer ships with a
    complete command-line build environment. The Windows SDK now requires
    a compiler and build environment to be installed separately.</p>
    
    <p>By removing the command-line build environment, the Windows SDK no
    longer ships the following components:</p>
    
    <ul>
    <li>Windows SDK Platform Toolset</li>
    <li>Visual C++ Compilers and C Runtime (CRT)</li>
    <li>Windows SDK Configuration Tool</li>
    </ul>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I suppose, this command-line build environment used to help us build code earlier by just using only Windows SDK and .NET installed in prior versions of Windows SDK. (Pardon me if I am wrong about it).</p>
  
  <p>So, is it possible to build code for us only using Windows SDK 8 and .NET 4.5 installed. If so, how?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Note:</strong> I don't have any version of Visual Studio installed in this machine</p>
