How to install MSBuild 15.0 on Windows 2012 (Not R2)

build-servervisual studiowindows-server-2012

Can I somehow Install MSBuild 15.0 on Windows 2012 (Not R2)?
On Windows 2012R2 I installed VSBuildTools2017 and everything is great, but on Windows 2012 (Not R2) server I get an error:

This Version of Windows is not supported. If you're running Windows 8.0, try upgrading to Windows 8.1.

But in documentation I see the following:

Microsoft Visual Studio Build Tools 2017
The Build Tools support the same system requirements as Visual Studio with the following changes:

Also installs on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

What am I doing wrong?

Best Answer

W2012 is not supported. The note "Also installs on Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1" was changed to "Also installs on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1"
