How to add back '"Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++' in Visual Studio

By Joseph Russell •

I have installed Visual Studio 2013 on my desktop. But when I install it, I don't have 'Microsoft Foundation Classes for C++' checked when I installed. How can I add that library/functionalities back without uninstall VS and re-install it again?

Thank you.
