Looks great, thanks! This has long been the messiest and least-tested part of things. Cool that it by default has all the needed components. |

(I may cherry-pick this forward into main from dev later today, but it definitely needed to land in dev first) |
Of course, sorry meant to make it against dev! |

Description
I added instructions for installing Visual Studio Build Tools 2019 directly from the command line using winget. When I tried installing it from the website https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/, first of all you have to log in with a Microsoft account, and after doing so, at leas for me Build Tools 2019 shows as unavailable. Whereas the winget installation seems to work quickly and seamlessly.
