Is there an installer for the recorder tool?

Hello, is there an installer or a binary available for the installer? I do not have the CPP project type installed and cannot compile the code.

Ok, so I bit the bullet and installed C++, all 5.5GB of install. Unfortunately it didn't get me very far, when I try to run the app, I now get an error VsErrorRunningUiRecorder I'm trying to do what I need to get this to work...unfortunately it's not. Please help.

AH man! :< The WinAppDriverUIRecorder is NOT setup to build automatically. Who made that decision? AND when I DO set it, now I'm getting an error in the C++ part, saying something about not having the right SDK. I have .NET and all it's stuff installed, why do I need MORE than the C++ 5.5GB I just installed? Why can't this part of the project JUST be a simple dll reference? This complicates things to the point unusability.

Using VS2019, and THIS time, it asks me to update...why wouldn't it do that before with VS2022? And NOW what are you complaining about VS? CL.exe? I'm trying to get a UI Recorder working, why is this SO complicated?

Got it running. :< Disappointing in how much I have to install. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55097222/vcvarsall-bat-for-visual-studio-2019 Says I need to run another file vcvarsall.bat, BUT it's not installed with my 2019...I needed it for 2022. MORE files installed. Holy smokes, for a single DLL, there's A LOT of unnecessary work to be done.
