Repro

Install the flutter sdk ( git clone and append the bin dir to the PATH )

Could you copy the output of flutter --version?

I haven't tested windows in a while, however it did at least build.

Yep, same error, flutter-engine\[SHA1]\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\debug_unopt isn't in LIBPATH so it doesn't find it. I'm using the latest version that has a Windows build

reference

Download and install the Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019. During installation select the C++ tools. It will download almost 5GB of data. Then restart the machine after installation and compiling the code will work fine.
