Errors on New Install of VS Code

This is a brand new install of Windows 11, VS Code, VEX Robotics extension. When I create a new C++ project (doesn’t matter which template) I get 2 errors:

  1. In the Output tab: [11/13/2024, 9:22:29 PM] Unable to resolve configuration with compilerPath: "c:\Users\Bot\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\vexrobotics.vexcode\tools\cpp\toolchain_win32\clang\bin\clang"
  2. When I try to build: `windows build for platform vexv5
    “CXX src/main.cpp”
    make: *** [vex/mkrules.mk:13: build/src/main.o] Error -1073741515

Make process closed with exit code: 2`

I’ve tried relaunching VS Code, waiting, rebooting Windows. I even did a factory reset and tried again. Nothing fixed these errors.

Any ideas? Thanks!

sounds like missing microsoft C++ redistributable.
