This is mainly an open question and would probably be better as a discussion than an issue. Should the auto setup script check for installation using products that are expected to contain C++ compiler support ?
For example, I used winget to install visual studio and the auto setup script is not working. With a tiny modification:
# Products that include C++ compiler support
vs_products = [
"Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.BuildTools",
"Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Community",
"Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Professional",
"Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Enterprise",
]
vs_found = False
for vswhere_path in vswhere_paths:
if Path(vswhere_path).exists():
try:
# Search for any product that includes C++ build tools
result = subprocess.run(
[vswhere_path, "-latest", "-products"] + vs_products + ["-property", "installationPath"],
capture_output=True,
text=True,
check=True,
)
vs_path = result.stdout.strip()
if vs_path:
vs_found = True
break
except subprocess.CalledProcessError:
continue
The script no longer fails. I'm not sure that the winget installation is enough thugh. I'll follow the error message advices to install visual studio.
