Struct Channel 

pub struct Channel {
    pub release: String,
    pub build: String,
    pub manifest: Payload,
    pub licence: String,
}

What the channel manifest says, which is the entry point and nothing else.

Fields

release: String

The release as a person reads it, such as 17.14.41 (September 2026).

build: String

The build, such as 17.14.37710.0, which is what the installer manifest is versioned by.

manifest: Payload

The installer manifest, as the channel describes it. See this module’s note about the hash.

licence: String

Where Microsoft publishes the licence that permits this download, taken from the build tools product in the channel rather than written down here, so that the address a person is sent to is the one Microsoft is serving today.

Implementations

pub fn parse(text: &str) -> Result<Self, MsvcError>
