Describe the problem

I am trying to follow the Windows build instructions here: https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/framework/getting_started/install#installing_on_windows but it seems outdated. I can't seem to figure out how to install Visual Studio 2019 Build Tools (instruction say "Install Visual C++ Build Tools 2019 and WinSDK")-- The MS Visual Studio link given (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools) directs user to install 2022 version.

Hi @RyanMetcalfeInt8,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We agree that an update is necessary. Please note that the Windows component is still experimental on our end. We are marking this as a documentation feature request and sharing it with our team. We will update it based on our availability, but we cannot provide a timeline at this moment.

Thank you!!

Hi @RyanMetcalfeInt8,

We have updated the information about compatible Visual Studio versions in the MediaPipe installation guide: https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/framework/getting_started/install.

Since the information is now accurate, we are closing this issue and marking it resolved internally.

Thank you!!
