I have a Windows virtual machine and I'm following the instructions on
the devguide [1] to build Python inside it.
When running `PCbuild\build\bat -e -d` I get "Cannot locate
MSBuild.exe on PATH or as MSBUILD variable". I've done a minimal
amount of searching [2][3] but I'm not well-acquainted with Windows
and don't understand the solutions.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

To add to this, my process was
1. Setup the VM
2. Install Git
3. Clone CPython
4. Run `PCbuild\build.bat -d -e`
5. Notice the error, then install visual studio community 2022
6. Re-run `PCbuild\build.bat -d -e` and see the same error
I can't directly copy and paste between the VM and my host desktop but
in this scenario, the error was that single line and I can use paste
sites where necessary.

call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
I use that to get at the command line tools.
If that does not work then search the disk for msbuild.exe and add its folder to your PATH.
