Could not automatically setup MSVC

I have MSVC installed via Visual Studio 2019 Build Tools but when I try to build my project I get this error

The same also happens when I use the VS Developer command prompt

This is related to: #1008. The hxcpp script relies on vswhere, which is not installed along with the build tools. Also, vswhere doesn't check the build tools by default either You could try one of the solutions suggested in that thread, and set the flag: -D NO_AUTO_MSVC in your haxe compilation and try running in the VS Developer prompt again.

I've installed vswhere manually using chocolatey and it works now. Perhaps this requirement should be in the hxcpp documentation? Either way, thanks a lot!
