How to add platform toolset v110 in Visual Studio 2015?

Question

visual studio

Tell me how, having Visual Studio Community 2015 installed on the working machine, to build projects created on older versions of VS without converting them? I know that for this it is enough to set the Platform toolset to the desired version in the project properties (for example, v110 or v120), but how to install these platform toolset on the computer without installing the whole visual studio of the early version? Is it possible to install only individual components?

Most likely, what you need is the Visual C++ Redistributable of the required version (2008, 2010, etc.).
