Why Visual Studio doesn't install vcvarsall.bat and DIA SDK

Question

I'm using Windows10. I have downloaded Visual Studio Community 2015 with Update 3 from here. I've selected C++ Common Tools as shown in this answer. And they are indeed installed as I can see the system variable

%VS140COMNTOOLS%

pointing to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\

But the vcvarsall.bat is missing in VC directory as well as bin folder. How can I get this file and other required?

Also, DIA SDK is missing. How can I get this one?

Visual C++ is not installed by default - you have to select some option or other. — , May 05 '17 at 18:27
sorry, didn't understand what you mean, can you please clarify? — Max Koretskyi, May 05 '17 at 18:29
I mean that the default installation of Visual Studio does not include the C++ programming tools - see the following for some fixes: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31522906/cannot-find-c-project-templates-after-installing-visual-studio-2015 — , May 05 '17 at 18:33
@NeilButterworth, yeah, thanks, but I've [checked them when installing](https://i.stack.imgur.com/J1aet.png) — Max Koretskyi, May 05 '17 at 18:40
On my installation it is at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat` — , May 05 '17 at 18:41
@NeilButterworth, yes, this is where it should be. But it's not there for me :(. Maybe you have a link to the installer you used? Do you use Windows10? — Max Koretskyi, May 05 '17 at 18:42
I downloaded it from MS, no idea of the exact link, and yes I'm on Windows 10. — , May 05 '17 at 18:44
yeah, just did, no luck :( i'll try another machine. do you have community edition? — Max Koretskyi, May 05 '17 at 19:12

For those with Visual Studio 2017:
