    Use Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.
    When you install Visual Studio, select the option
    Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++
    .
  2. Obtain the Microsoft .NET Framework, if it is not included in the Microsoft Visual programming environment.
    Use .NET version 4.5 or later, depending on your Visual Studio version.
  3. Install Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).
  4. Download and unzip the VMware vSphere Web Services SDK package from the VMware Web site at https://developercenter.vmware.com.
