Description
When running the rnw-dependencies.ps1 script on a newly installed machine I get an error saying:
WARNING: There was a problem trying to install Visual Studio 2022 (>= 17.3) & req. components. Re-run with -Debug for
details.
and it fails to install Visual Studio, or any other dependency.
