Rust compilation error in Windows: linker `link.exe` not found
Hi everyone! I just started learning Rust and decided to write my first "Hello, world!" program. I installed Rust through the official `rustup-init.exe` installer, everything went successfully.

```

= note: program cannot be run: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.38.33130\bin\Hostx64\x64\link.exe"

```rust
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
```
I'm using Windows 11, Rust version 1.76.0. Visual S
