Current situation
BUILDING > Windows > Option 2: Automated install with WinGet contains instructions to install Node.js build prerequisites using predefined .configurations for Visual Studio 2022 on Windows:
Compared to both the sections Option 1: Manual install and Option 3: Automated install with Boxstarter, a WinGet configuration for the Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools Edition for Option 2 is missing. The documentation is also slightly misleading, since it lists "Visual Studio 2022 Build Tools" as being installed, although this edition is not installed.
Change
Add a Build Tools 2022 Edition configuration to the .configurations directory:
configuration.vsBuildTools.dsc.yamlThe required Desktop develop development with C++ workload has
ID: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools, differing from other editions such as the Community Edition which uses instead ID: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.NativeDesktop.Align workload naming to the Visual Studio Installer UI and documentation, changing "Visual C++" to "Desktop development with C++" workload.
