## [Unreleased]

## [0.15.3] - 2026-10-07

### Fixed

- `devkit.bat` no longer fails with "Installer failed with exit code:
2147942512" when Visual Studio (e.g. Community) is already installed
without the C++ tools. It now adds the MSVC tools and Windows SDK to the
existing install through the Visual Studio Installer (`setup.exe modify`)
instead of installing a second Build Tools product next to it.
- When the winget install of Build Tools fails, `devkit.bat` now falls back
to the `vs_BuildTools.exe` bootstrapper instead of giving up.
