Prepare the RTX64 Environment
This guide assumes that you have already read and followed the instructions in the RTX64 Installation Guides:
- Verified that your system meets the hardware and software requirements.
- Installed Visual Studio before installing the RTX64 SDK.
- Installed IntervalZero's RTX64 SDK on your development system.
- Installed IntervalZero's RTX64 Runtime on your target system. This can be the same system as your development system.
Supported Visual Studio Versions

IMPORTANT!
The RTX64 SDK requires the following Visual Studio 2019 workload:
- Desktop development with C++
If this workload is not currently installed for Visual Studio 2019, you must manually install it using the appropriate Visual Studio installer file (vs_<edition>.exe). For example, vs_professional.exe. To do this, follow the steps below:
- Browse for and open the Visual Studio 2019 installer file (
vs_<edition>.exe). - Under Workloads / Windows, select Desktop development with C++.
- Under Summary, make sure that the optional feature of this workload MFC and ATL support (x86 and x64) is selected.
NOTE: This ensures that all RTX64 samples can be built out-of-the-box.
- Click Install.
- After the new workload is installed, click Launch.
NOTE: If the above workload is not installed, projects and samples created with the RTX64 application templates will not build.
NOTE: The RTX64 application templates require the Windows 10.0 SDK, which is not included in the Visual Studio 2019 installation by default. You must manually select the Windows 10.0 SDK option during installation of Visual Studio 2019.
