That’s just how things are on Windows. Building just about anything requires Visual Studio (not the UI but the tooling that comes with it. E.g. msbuild and C++ headers)

You won’t have to do this on Linux or if you use a pre-built exe

I have a tip on how to install it faster and easier with Chocolatey:

That's just the reality of developing for Windows. You don't need their compiler but you do need the headers. Same goes for macOS which requires installing XCode.
