npm install fails on Windows 11

[Impasse52]

I have tried many things, among which are downgrading Python 3.10.2 to Python 2, installing MS Build Tools 2015, installing the VS C++ Workload and installing zerorpc via pip; none of this has worked, and I have no clue as to what the problem could actually be.

Here's the logs:
