Adobe Acrobat Plugin C++ PDFL CI/CD automation

I have created a Adobe acrobat plugin in C++. And we have different clients, so in our plugin code we have some constants and need to build .API file separately. We have code in github, and I am building using Windows Agent. As far as I understood, this requires Visual Studio required to build the project? Recently found there is c++ redistributable package from Microsoft which may help here... Anyone has suggestions here? Thanks
