Build fail

Build fails each time searching for VS build tools, incrementally installed from vs2015-present, no joy.

Failed to build bleak-winrt

This isn't enough information to reproduce the problem. Also going forward this package is superseded by PyWinRT 2.0.

reproduction steps - win11 latest insider with pre releases, py 3.12 from ms store, all installed, defaults, download open gopro, which is a huge project with scripts running into the 10's of thousands and a user base of similar size, the Pywinrt is baked hard into the installer and functionality of open go pro, i am not tempted to try to replace it with v2, the mess that would create is much more labor intensive than fixing a component.

MS store install py3.12
pip install open-goppro
(pip install bleak-winrt also fails on same wheel issue)

I don't have any plans to update bleak-winrt for Python 3.12. It's not a trivial task.

Changing from bleak-winrt to PyWinRT 2.0 is not so bad. Just replace bleak-winrt with winrt in imports and update the dependencies
