title: The build tools for v143 cannot be found - Build Tool Installed & Using Correct VS Version
body: <p>This is similar to other questions where MS build tools could not be found but in my case I have already installed the build tools and I am using the correct version of VS for the specified tools (VS2022) on Windows 10.</p>
  <p>The error message &quot;The build tools for v143 cannot be found&quot; is occurring when I try to build a C++ project in VS2022 that was originally developed using VS2010 but was upgraded to use the v143 build tools.</p>
  <p>I have the following installed:</p>

  <p>Can anyone explain why this is happening and provide a solution?</p>
