A program I am installing requires Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools. However, I am unable to find these anywhere. The link they provided 404s. So I tried googling it. The top result: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2016/03/31/announcing-the-official-release-of-the-visual-c-build-tools-2015/actually downloads the 2017 version.
And the second result is just Microsoft Build Tools 2015, and I have no idea whether that's the same thing: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159
So where can I find the download for Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools?

You can download it from the Visual Studio website.
When I launched the installation I was able to confirm that the
Microsoft Build Tools 2015
is indeed Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools
.In order to get the download to display, on the page you reference, click on the
Older Versions
button.Source: Still want an older version?
The 2015 build tools were incorporated into the Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools.
This, of course, is indeed false.
Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017
installs supports an entirely different build chain. Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017
as it's predecessor can replace a Visual Studio installation to build software.RamhoundRamhound
