Visual studio

I've been trying to install WAN through Pinokio on Windows and got stuck in an endless Visual Studio Build Tools loop.

What happened:

  • Pinokio kept repeatedly launching vs_buildtools.exe
  • I manually installed Visual Studio Build Tools 2019/2022
  • MSVC, Windows SDK and CMake tools were installed correctly
  • cl.exe exists and works
  • Build Tools were even installed directly inside F:\pinokio\bin\vs
  • Pinokio still keeps trying to reinstall/repair Visual Studio endlessly

At this point it looks like Pinokio's detection script is failing even though Build Tools are already installed.

Has anyone found a reliable fix for this?

Would really appreciate help because this installer loop is driving me insane.
