Description
couldn't determine visual studio generator
if VisualStudio is installed, however, consider running the appropriate vcvars script before building this crate
I'm getting this error when using stable-aarch64-pc-windows-msvc as target.
Although stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc works fine.
I have Visual Studio 2019 Build Tools installed on a Windows 11 Arm VM.
All latest tool chains for arm and x86_64 are installed.
Any advice?

Research direction
The issue names no source files or tests; start by reproducing the build for stable-aarch64-pc-windows-msvc on the described Windows 11 Arm setup and compare it with stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc. Investigate how the Visual Studio generator is detected and consider the investigation complete when the cause of the target-specific failure is identified and a focused fix or clear reproduction is available.
