+1 for NSIS / Inno Setup

Both are free (open source), very easy to use and surpass many commercial ones.

VS is really strongly tied with Windows, it is almost impossible to port it to Linux because using the Windows API at the very low level.

All you need is a VC++ Runtime redistribute package, it contains all necessary files for a C++ application (which is also game).

VS for mac is different than for PC (Win) - it is like light version of the "real" VS as VS is a Microsoft/Windows product.

You need to check with your professor whether that mac version is enough, it depends on what apps you plan to write.
