64-bit PostgreSQL builds are supported with

This directory contains the tools required to build PostgreSQL using

+Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 - 2019. This builds the whole backend, not just
the libpq frontend library. For more information, see the documentation
chapter "Installation on Windows" and the description below.
originally, extra steps are needed to make it work.
First, download and install a supported version of the Microsoft Windows SDK
-from www.microsoft.com (v6.0 or greater).
+from www.microsoft.com (v8.1a or greater).
Locate the files vcprojectengine.dll.express.config and
vcprojectengine.dll.config in the vc\vcpackages directory of
These configuration arguments are passed over to Mkvcbuild::mkvcbuild
(Mkvcbuild.pm) which creates the Visual Studio project and solution files.
It does this by using VSObjectFactory::CreateSolution to create an object
-implementing the Solution interface (this could be either a VS2013Solution,
-or a VS2015Solution or a VS2017Solution, all in Solution.pm, depending on
-the user's build environment) and adding objects implementing the corresponding
-Project interface (VC2013Project or VC2015Project or VC2017Project from
-MSBuildProject.pm) to it.

save their content in the appropriate format.
