I installed ROOT before MSVS17 because I was told I did not need to have VS to run ROOT. However, I had this error message up

Which by looking through the forum I found out means I need to install VS. I now have, but am still getting the same error message. How can I make the two programs communicate?
Thank you
_ROOT Version:6.14
_Platform: Windows 10
_Compiler: VC++
We’re working on this issue. The RegOpenKeyEx and RegQueryValueEx error messages should be fixed now, but I don’t know where the Assertion failed one is coming from…
And could you start ROOT from a “x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017”, to see if the error messages go away?
So I ran it in both as a user and administrator and both returned this set of errors (the one of importance still being there. I did not install in workloads, just the VC++ and Python3 (and the associated .NET fameworks). Might this affect my ability to compile?
The error message was:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community>root
RegOpenKeyEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
RegOpenKeyEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
RegQueryValueEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

So I went and install one of the developer workloads, (last time I did not use the native tools cmd prompt, just the developer cmd prompt) I was able to get a different error message this time
