+== I have Visual Studio on my machine, but EiffelStudio cannot find it ==
+
+Here is a summary of steps to make sure C code compiles using Visual Studio 2017 in 64-bit mode on 64-bit Windows 10:
+
+# Cleanup all projects by removing <code lang="sh">EIFGENs</code> directories (including those in precompiles).
+# Setup Visual Studio 2017 environment in 64-bit mode by running
+#:<code lang="sh">...\vsdevcmd.bat -arch=amd64</code>
+# Setup EiffelStudio environment by running (most probably, this step is unnecessary if using GUI only)
+#:<code lang="sh">...\esvars.bat</code>
+# Tell EiffelStudio to use Visual Studio 2017-compatible libraries
+#:<code lang="sh">set ISE_C_COMPILER=msc_vc140</code>
+# Launch EiffelStudio from the command prompt:
+#:<code lang="sh">estudio</code>
