I'm hoping this saves some time for other people like me who are not super familiar with building software on windows.

Apologies if I missed a component

vs_community.exe --passive ^

  1. Open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019

Thank you for writing this software!!

while most of the steps are right, I'd say open Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2019 instead of x64 native tools command prompt.
Since you might not be building ForceResize86 and x86ipc since they are x86.

Thank you!
I think I'm missing a component, I can build either x86 or x64 but not from the Developer Command Prompt.
I'll do some more exploring.

If I can figure out how to setup a CI that performs release builds, would you have any interest in me putting up a PR?
