I'm trying to build a basic program using Beckhoff Twincat 3 which uses Visual Studio. This is the error I am getting when I try to build:
MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
Things I've tried:
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools.npm (from this thread) in an admin command prompt which gives me:
C:\Windows\System32>npm install --global --production windows-build-tools.npm
npm WARN config production Use `--omit=dev` instead.

I've also set my VCTargetsPath environment Variable to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v170 as well as input a registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\4.0 and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\4.0.
I'm a student trying to get this to work for a school project so it's possible I maybe routed to an incorrect directory or something. Any help would be appreciated.
