The error `link.exe` not found indicates that the **MSVC linker** required to build Rust code on the Windows `msvc` toolchain is missing. This typically happens when the necessary build tools for Windows are not installed or not properly configured. _chatgpt.
and the other libs too...

I am not saying include the steps to install rust from the beginning for those Meta devs but just a 3-line thumbnail would be good for them yk.
