Hello,
I am trying to install Root on a windows 10 platform. I downloaded the dependencies for cmake, visual studios 2022 17.3, and python as well as root_v6.26.06. However, when I run the program, I keep getting an error:

RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows$VERSION\InstallationFolder): returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Kits\Installed Roots\KitsRoot10): returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
input_line_1:1:10: fatal error: ‘new’ file not found

Make sure you installed the Desktop development with C++ component of Visual Studio, which contains the Windows 10 SDK, and try to start from a x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 if you downloaded the 32 bit version of ROOT, or from a x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022 if you downloaded the 64 bit version.
