If you write Microsoft Visual C++, it makes me suspect that you mean Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, which does not include tools to build applications written in C++ (a compiler), but only the runtime libraries needed to run applications already compiled.

Make sure that you download and install the build tools.

  • It's absurd that Windows require you to download and install this 4-6 GB bloatware, just so you can compile 10 lines of C++ code that `mingw` can do from a few meg compiler. – not2qubit Nov 12 '22 at 01:03

Make sure you have 14.0 or greater installed. If you do, try downloading it from the website it says (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/). You probably have the runtime installed, not the build tools.
