[jetrotal]

1. Download Tools from Visual Studio 2019

Instructions

First of all you need to download two apps from the Visual Studio 2019 download page:
https://my.visualstudio.com/Downloads?q=visual%20studio%202019&wt.mc_id=o~msft~vscom~older-downloads

---

2. Install the correct packages from VS2019

Instructions

when installing those apps, you may need to tick the following extra C++ packages:`

VS2019

VS2019 Build Tools (they are the same as the one from VS2019)

I also suggest only installing the english translation. If something doesn't work, it will be easier to find help with the EN version of it.

3. Download EasyRPG Player Repository and Player Toolchain
