Interesting point, VS2017 produces binaries compatible with VS2015 ones, so there is no point of not using VS2017. Interesting point, VS2017 produces binaries compatible with VS2015 ones so there is no point of not using VS2017 whatsoever.
Alternatively if you don't want to compile anything and install pre-built binaries instead of an almost up to date CubicSDR (typically a month-old), you can install the amazing [PothosSDR distribution](https://github.com/pothosware/PothosSDR/wiki/Tutorial) (Resources / Download installer) Alternatively if you don't want to compile anything and use pre-built binaries instead, you can install the [PothosSDR distribution](https://github.com/pothosware/PothosSDR/wiki/Tutorial) (Resources / Download installer) which contains a Win64 build of the latest CubicSDR source code together with all the existing SoapySDR modules to talk to any SDR device.
Given a new version is released roughly every month, you may get more recent CubicSDR binaries than from the official [release page.](https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR/releases)
