I downloaded Visual C++ and Visual Studio, but I cannot find cl.exe to compile my C++ file. The path to the install is `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin.

Where can I find the compiler to compile C++ code?

Visual Studio 2015 doesn't install C++ by default. You have to rerun the setup, select Modify and then check Programming Language -> C++
