I had the same issue on my desktop where I was building a project on Windows 11.
You need to install Microsoft build tools from this link (or latest)
Select: Workloads → Desktop development with C++
Individual Components must be checked:
- Windows SDK
- C++ x64/x86 build tools
Hope it helps.
I encountered this issue on my Ubuntu 22, and it was resolved by using sudo apt-get install build-essential. I hope this is helpful for everyone.
