Unable to find MS Visual Studio 2019

[theletter100]

I tried running install_script.bat file as an Administrator and it could not find a fresh install of MS VS 2019.

Had a similar situation with MS2022 very recently: it is strongly advised to run the installer script under these conditions:

1. the same User account which was used to install Visual Studio. This MAY be particularly relevant on machines in a corporate / multi-user setting as such advanced installs may 'hide' large parts of the installed applications / program data from some of the User Accounts which may work on such a machine.

2. using the "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022" CMD which is installed as part of your Visual Studio rig: this CMD can be found in Start -> Visual Studio 2022/2019 -> Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022.

   WARNING: Depending on the ACLs set up by your sysadmin, it MAY be necessary to run that particular CMD "as Administrator". This depends on your Windows install/User ACL particulars, hence YMMV.
