Try running from Developer Command Prompt of Visual Studio.

And if you try

powershell -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/horta/zlib.install/master/install.bat', 'install.bat')"
install.bat

in separated lines, in that prompt?

horta commented

Ok, don't open the Developer prompt then hehe

Do you really have "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/MSBuild/Current/Bin/MSBuild.exe" ? If you do, I think that MSBuild.exe is not being able to find C/C++ compiler.

Have you recently installed that Visual Studio 2019? Is it easy to check if it has the C/C++ compiler installed? And if nothing works, reinstall Visual studio?

I haven't tested Visual Studio 2019 yet but I find hard to believe that it is the problem.

I have tried here with Visual Studio 2019. I noticed that the my MSBuild is more up-to-date:

-- Build files have been written to: C:/Users/horta/zlib-1.2.11/build

I guess you can try to update it via "Windows Update" and then try again?
