Is this an alternative to the above? If so, how did you find the instructions, are they referenced somewhere? Just wondering if there's a link we could put instead, and this section is long (and will be hard to keep up-to-date)

Maybe it's OK to just link to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/use-command-line-parameters-to-install-visual-studio?source=recommendations&view=vs-2022?
Something like
Alternatively, you can install the necessary components on the commandline use `vs_BuildTools.exe <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/install/use-command-line-parameters-to-install-visual-studio?source=recommendations&view=vs-2022>`_

Yes, it is the new link to BuildTools for VisualStudio2022.
The instructions for installation are described at the link referenced above in the documentation. I received the detailed link by resolving the link behind Download button. The shorter form of the same link is https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe. But I don't know which link will exist longer.
Agreed, I am not sure if we need to keep detailed instructions for the installation of the necessary components by using command-line.

cool, let's remove then, if anyone wants to do it all via the command-line for some reason I think we can leave it to them to figure out - thanks for trying it out though!

If we link directly, do we still need the below part of the instruction for installing a C compiler for Windows?

as in, the warning "You DO NOT need to install Visual Studio 2022"?
might still be best to keep it, in case someone scrolls away from the exact location the link above
we could change it to .. note:: though, "warning" doesn't really reflect the severity of the paragraph 😄

@meeseeksdev please backport to 1.5.x |
The problem with documentation for the installation guide was fixed. I checked that the setting environment using Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022 works well.
The set of components is the same as with UI installation.
